Obama expects to create/save 600,000 jobs
President Barack Obama said on Monday he expected to create or save 600,000 jobs over the next 100 days by expediting 10 major projects funded by a huge stimulus package that Congress passed in February.
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.
