Obama Targets 3 Million Job Openings

U.S. President elected Barack Obama strives to create 3 million jobs in the first two years of reign. Target rose 500,000 from the original target of 2.5 million jobs.

Increasing the target should be done after Obama received a report that the U.S. economy will worsen from the original estimate. Therefore, the two officials emphasized that the Democratic party were reluctant to name mentioned as CNN reported, Sunday (21/12).

In the latest report, if no significant action, as many as 4 million U.S. workers will lose jobs until next year. This means unemployment will rise to above 9 percent.

After hearing presentations on the condition of the U.S. economy, Obama and Vice President elect Joe Biden said, "We must develop a plan which will ensure and create at least 3 million jobs."

Some of the stimulus plan will be carried out Obama to reach the target. Including the availability of 1 million homes, guarantee funds 1 billion U.S. dollars in financing the energy sector, and increase the production of energy that can be updated.
