The Milken Institute-Harris Poll Listening Project

The Listening Project

U.S. business leaders and Americans alike are confronting significant geo-economic challenges, according to the new Milken Institute-Harris Poll Listening Project report, “Building A Resilient America: The New Consensus for Action.” The findings illuminate the struggles leaders face as they navigate through economic instability, tech disruptions, and societal shifts. 

These challenges come with the task of marrying immediate pressures with long-term strategic ambitions and concerns about America’s global position, prompting 91% of business leaders to advocate for a concerted effort to bolster U.S. competitiveness in the global market. Concurrently, the research indicates a consensus for optimism and collective effort that transcends political boundaries.

Find out the keys to unlocking U.S. competitiveness in the full report here:
