Pointing the way

The government needs to spend less time doing and making things and more time pointing out which things are being done well and which things are being done poorly.

Energy production
The government can inspect utilities and report the most and least efficient in each State. It can also point out which ones produce the most pollutants and which are the cleanest.

Future jobs
The government can point out which jobs sectors are growing. People can then educate themselves for jobs in those sectors. The government can also point out which sectors are shrinking so that people in those jobs can learn other skills.

Schools
Government should track which schools are best at preparing students for the workforce and for college. In other words, which schools have the best and worst rates?


 * How many students in School X graduate with a College Degree?


 * How many graduates of School X are able to find employment for a year or longer?


 * How many students enrolled at 9th grade gradute from 12th grade?

Wages
In each city, how many hours must you work to afford a car? an apartment? a house? a meal?
