A long-stalled measure aimed at keeping more than 100,000 teachers on the job is headed to President Barack Obama’s desk.
The U.S. House of Representatives today gave final approval to the measure, which would provide $10 billion in aid to states and school districts to avert educator layoffs and hire new staff members. The measure would also provide $16 billion in Medicaid funding to states. [...] The House voted 247-161 to approve the measure.
When someone asks about the phrase "jobs saved or created," this is what it means to "save" a job. 100,000 of them.
