On Monday April 13th, President Barack Obama said that thousands of major infrastructure projects being undertaken as part of the economic stimulus package are currently ahead of schedule and under budget. President Obama has said that as many as 2,000 new road construction projects have been approved since February.
"By the end of next year our investment in highway projects alone will create or save 150,000 jobs, most of them in the private sector," Obama said during an appearance at the Transportation Department to plug his plan.
News like this regarding new construction projects is very good new for the state of the economy as new projects require more employees to be hired. In President Obama’s speech on Tuesday night he will be addressing the economy, and hopefully more news about its slow continual recovery.
