Obama Jobs Council Shuts Down

EXPIRATION: President Barack Obama will not renew his Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, winding down one source of input from the business community even as unemployment remains stubbornly high.

MAJOR REPORT: Its main work was a report released in January 2012. It also organized meetings that Obama didn't attend with business owners, local elected officials and academics. General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt, the panel's chair, said progress was made on 90 percent of its recommendations.

"how are things working out"

Well my retirement savings are back up. My home value is going back up. Just in time because I'm looking at selling and upgrading to a bigger home for cheap while taking advantage of the low interest. And the family member that lives with us, who was out of a job for almost 2 yrs., has found a job. But thankfully he was able to fall back on UE during those tough times. That is UE along with the prayers that we are able to say together freely in public and private without any threat of a Hitleresque attack by gov. officials. Go figure

Don't be so sure about this
12:28. The stock market is artificially being propped up by the feds. Think of it as being the same as the artificially inflated prices of real estate that occured not so long ago and then what happened when that bottom fell out.
Market is mainly pension funds and day traders anymore. Serious long term investors are out as they know feds pumping money into the stock market to get stocks to go up is not the same as hiring people and making and selling products so share prices grow.
It's a dangerous practice that serious investors know will end terribly.

Never fear... The council will be replaced with another type of govt organization, one that expands govt power even more.....

you are very correct. Ever heard the term, easy come, easy go? That may very well happen soon!

Immelt did nothing for American jobs. He did, however, send many GE jobs overseas to China ...

Maybe that's why they are doing away with this?
