Economic stimulus has created, saved 150,000 jobs:
The US economic stimulus plan has created or saved 150,000 jobs since it was enacted 100 days ago, top White House economic officials said on Wednesday, relying on projections instead of an actual tally of workers.
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.
