President Barack Obama has implemented a 2012 unemployment benefits extension in California and Florida, two of the highest unemployed statesin the country. These Federally Extended benefits, or emergency unemployment compensation, have been extended by Congress nine times since they were first passed in June 2008.
Studies show that unemployment insurance extensions increased the share of workers who became re-employed by about 1.3 percentage points in January 2011 by reducing the fraction who excited the labor force, and what this extension intends to do is exactly that- increase the number of Americans who find new jobs.

In an effort to promote American Jobs Act introduced earlier this month at a joint session of Congress, President Obama has teamed up with social networking site, LinkedIn for a town hall about creating jobs and growing the economy.
The discussion is moderated by LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner, and features President Obama in a Q&A session with a small audience addressing topics including American Jobs Act, reducing the deficit, creating permanent jobs and other economic issues.
