How the Stimulus Will Affect Employment   Growing Industries  

President Barack Obama does not hide the fact that one of his top priorities is creating jobs and putting Americans back to work. His first attempt at fighting unemployment is The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (aka: The Stimulus).

The goals of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are:

  • To create and save jobs
  • Prompt economic activity
  • Invest in long-term growth
  • Create an extraordinary level of accountability and transparency in government spending

The Recovery Act intends to achieve those goals by:

  • Providing $288 billion in tax cuts and benefits for millions of working families and businesses
  • Increasing federal funds for education and health care as well as entitlement programs (such as extending unemployment benefits) by $224 billion
  • Making $275 billion available for federal contracts, grants and loans
  • Requiring recipients of Recovery funds to report quarterly on how they are using the money

Although the Recovery Act will not put every unemployed person back to work, it will help millions of discouraged and out-of-work employees. The four main sectors that will see extraordinary growth are:

  • Energy
  • Infrastructure
  • Education
  • Healthcare

Alternative Energy

The stimulus package calls for major spending on clean energy and alternative energy projects such as wind turbines and coal gasification. The demand for engineers and skilled tradesmen to work on installation, infrastructure and field service will increase.

Construction/Infrastructure

The stimulus has focused on industries that have been hit the hardest by the turn in the economy. Construction took a major blow with the downturn in the housing market. New jobs in construction will pop up as cities begin to improve their highways, streets, rail systems and more. Now is the time for skilled contractors to begin looking for stimulus projects in your area.

Education

In any economy, there is always a need for funding in education. Stimulus dollars will focus on improving school buildings, securing and expanding teaching positions, as well as expanding programs for students with learning disabilities and special needs.

Healthcare

In the midst of a heated battle over healthcare, more than 20 billion has already been allocated to expanding healthcare information and technology. President Barack Obama and his administration really want to focus on improving how healthcare services, pharmaceuticals, and how information is delivered. This means that people in the healthcare systems and information field will see a spike in job opportunities.
