Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

If U.S. consumers and investors are to use their dollars to create jobs for beleaguered American workers, they need to do some detective work. Business writers Matusky and Freudberg here attempt to present a comprehensive guide to buying and investing in ways that maximize job creation in our country. They point out that, for demanding U.S. consumers, the impressive improvements made by domestic manufacturers make for fewer Hobson's choices: U.S. automakers, for one, have largely closed the quality gap with Japan and Europe. The authors stress environmental awareness as a way of strengthening U.S. firms and recommend working hard, investing smartly, and, especially, reading those product labels. Unfortunately, the authors' classification of car models typifies the inaccuracies that mar this volume: they list many models of domestic cars as imports, and vice versa. Not an essential purchase.

2.0 out of 5 stars dissapointing, September 6, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: 50 Things You Can Do to Save American Jobs (Paperback)
a truly sad and dissapointing book.When i got it i was expecting something that would say how to fight slave labor or not promote free trade.Instead the book makes an extremly ethnocentric view of how americans are superior to all other nations in productivity and any reasons for themnot being so is leeching nations stealing jobs.As the book continues it seems not wanting to save american jobs but by just citing examples of effective american companys.Not only does the book not try to go into depth of why the problem is there.All american corporations are made to look just and going against the evil 'trade sapping' countries of the world.There is no look to see why americans arelosing jobs or anything behind what is happening to the country just american nationalism.Do not get this book the name is much better than the book implies

1.0 out of 5 stars Farce, August 6, 2003
This review is from: 50 Things You Can Do to Save American Jobs (Paperback)
This book is nothing more than a waste of natural resources...trees! Do not even waste your time reading, or even thinking about reading, this book. As the previous reviewer stated, the author is self-serving and complains about anything non-American. If you want to save American jobs, research and discover your own conclusions. The author is worried about saving one job, his own. Don't waste your money.
