The US senate has approved a $17.5 billion package creating tax credits for employers who hire unemployed Americans. With unemployment rates having reached 9.7% in the US, as opposed to 7.7% in January 2009 this is another incentive to provide some light guiding towards the end of the tunnel. So what has been done so far? Around the world more than $2.6 trillion had been invested by governments to bail out banks and jump start economic growth. In January this year, Obama and the US government had agreed on a $30 billion package to small firms thus clearly signalling to support the startup behavior of people. Now, another $17.5 billion to promote hiring unemployed people. Altogether, this seems like a rather desperate approach to quickly solve the current economic problems. But which of these three rather diverse approaches end up being the real drive to help healing the economy and creating new jobs?
