Obama's weekly address: Turning around unemployment.


Two members of the Transition economic team—Dr. Christina Romer and Dr. Jared Bernstein—have analyzed the plan and project that it will likely save or create three to four million jobs [see pic above]. Their report is here.
From Change.gov:

The high unemployment numbers released this week rattled the country, as anxiety about the deepening recession hit home to more and more American families.
President-elect Obama’s Weekly Address responds with an urgent call for immediate and dramatic action to get our economy working again.
The President-elect’s proposed plan won’t just create jobs—it will also provide help for those who have lost theirs with bi-partisan measures to families and states hit hardest by this recession.
