Nebraska Issues

1. Stimulus' job is to put more folks to work


Though 130 Omaha electricians have been sidelined by the layoffs resulting from the nation's economy, union leader Gary Kelly is optimistic that Congress' passage of the stimulus bill along with its promise of millions in construction dollars for Nebraska will allow poeple to be back on the job soon. The Obama adminstration has projected that the stimulus will create or save 23,000 jobs in Nebrasaka and an additional 37,000 in Iowa. With what Obama calls "a major milestone on our road to recovery", Kelly and Nebraskans feel optimistic about job recovery.
