Obama to Unveil Jobs Plan
-------------------------



President Obama is expected to unveil a new round of proposals today as
part of his stated efforts to help create jobs. The $33 billion dollar
package would provide incentives for hiring workers and raising wages.
Businesses would receive a $5,000 dollar tax credit for each worker
hired next year as well as reimbursements on Social Security taxes. On
Thursday, Obama told a Florida audience that job creation is his “top
priority.”

President Obama: “The worst of the storm has passed. But, I think all of
you understand, the devastation remains. One in ten Americans still
can’t find work. That’s why creating jobs has to be our number one
priority in 2010.”
