“Even though we’ve slowed the loss of jobs — and today’s report on the continued decline in unemployment claims is a hopeful sign — the economic growth that we’ve seen has not yet led to the job growth that we desperately need,”

“We all know that there are limits to what government can and should do, even during such difficult times. But we have an obligation to consider every additional responsible step that we can to encourage and accelerate job creation in this country,” he added.

President Obama is looking on inviting CEOs, economists, small business owners, financial experts, and representatives from labor and non-profit organizers.
