Wamp says stimulus should focus on job creation
Rep. Zach Wamp said with the US Department of Labor reporting today that 598,000 jobs were lost in January, the most since the end of 1974, the stimulus bill now under consideration should focus on job creation.
US President-elect Barack Obama has moved to reassure the American public that his US$775 billion stimulus plan could create up to four million jobs, following the release of a government report showing more people were put out of work in the United States in 2008 than in any year since 1945.
