CBO: Recovery Act Created Up to 2.8 Million Jobs
 
Washington, D.C. - The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report today crediting the Recovery Act with up to 2.8 million jobs.

The report shows that in the first quarter of 2010, the Recovery Act increased the number of people employed by between 1.2 million and 2.8 million.

Thanks to the Recovery Act, we are finally headed in the right direction - but there is still much work to be done.

Congress is expected to consider legislation soon that will promote American jobs, provide relief for working families, close tax loopholes, and maintain fair payments to doctors.
