The Obama administration estimates that the economic stimulus plan will create or save 750,000 jobs by early August. As the administration has said previously, the report touts that the act will save or create 3.5 million jobs by the end of 2010. It also points to even bigger stimulus job creation and savings of 6.8 million jobs by the end of 2012. On April 29, President Obama said in a press conference that 150,000 jobs had already been saved or created by stimulus, which he signed on Feb. 17. White House officials have been careful to point out that estimated jobs created and saved have merely slowed continued job losses. The unemployment rate reached 8.9 percent in April, a 25-year high.
I chose this because it shows what the stimulus package has done and hopefully will continue to do for businesses. President Obama is taking the right step in helping people find jobs and save the ones they currently have. I do agree with this because finding a job nowadays is almost impossible and Obama is doing everything he can to help. I think the information was presented very well because it explains what Obama is planning to do to help us Americans. I would definetly use this site again, cnnmoney gives really good details.
