im not sure what measures you mean to advocate with respect to 'focus'. i find worthy investments present themselves.
for instance, consumption does not necessarily rely on production and job growth specifically, as these are just two instances or sources of supply and demand, respectively. you mentioned the trade deficit. the US, for better or worse, relies on imports for supply. a demand recovery will rely heavily on job growth, but failing that, concentration of wealth, deflation and government subsistence are eager volunteers which have encroached on the american labor base every contraction since the late 70s at least.
