About that Jobs Council

One of Obama's efforts to boost employment was his creation of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness early in 2011. There is a slight problem with this -- from Josh Gerstein at Politico:
Obama Jobs Council hits 1 year without official meeting
President Barack Obama's Jobs Council hit a notable milestone on Thursday: one year without an official meeting. The 26-member panel is also set to expire at the end of the month, unless Obama extends its tenure.

The group, formally known as the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, last convened on Jan. 17, 2012 for a White House session where it presented formal recommendations to Obama. It was the panel's fourth official meeting since it was created in early 2011.
Hey Barry -- you have the resources at hand. How about using them. Employment is one of the key problems Americans are facing -- the Gallup Poll I cited two days ago has most people concerned with the economy, the deficit, the government and unemployment. Fix these and you will have a nation of happy people. Posted by DaveH at January 18, 2013 3:43 PM
