stimulus on pace for 35 million jobs WASHINGTON (AP) The Obama administra tion defended its claim Monday that the $787 bil liouweconomic stimulus plan will save or create 35 million jobs before 201 1 an assertion questioned by some economists and GOP lawmakers A report by the White House Council of Economic Advisers says the projec tions are based on conserv ative estimates and widely accepted assumptions The 35 million job estimate remains valid the report says now that stimulus workers absorb some of the increased economic activi ty by working longer hours and being more productive it says Models that predict the number of U3 jobs with and without the stimulus still conclude that the bill will create or save 35 mil lion by the end of 2010 the report says Many economists say it is difficult to calculate how many jobs are by a spending package designed to pump up the economy Republican officials have criticized President nilSOAY MAY trefcjre Cus ato ACTt fe i iM rea jKP auca

report says the analysis is based on what the CEA considers "the rel atively conservative rule ti thumb that a 1 percent increase in GDP corre sponds to an increase in employment of approxi mately 1 million the report says However it also notes that every increase in the GDP does not translate into new jobs Existing Barack projec tions calling them unduly optimistic efforts to quanti fy something that is extremely difficult to quan tify CEA report was seen in part as an effort to answer such criti cisms It says job creation that can be attributed to the stimulus package over 2009 and 2010 as the stimulus increases and then falls as the fiscal stimulus is Rapid spread of swine flu justified warnings WASHINGTON (AP) The number of cases of swine flu may have been several times higher than reported and the potential for rapid spread of the illness justified the World Health decision to raise the global pandemic alert a new study concludes While WHO is reporting about 4800 confirmed cases in 30 countries the new analysis estimates there have been between 6000 and 32000 cases in Mexico alone While there have been 1626 cases of the flu confirmed in Mexico the researchers note that there have been more than 11000 suspected infections early analysis would suggest this is going to be an outbreak comparable to that oi20th century pandemics regarding the extent of its spread very difficult to quantify the human health impact at this stage howev said lead author Neil erguson of Imperial College London analysis was released by the journal Science Normally Science releases its reports on Thursdays but the journal said it was issuing this study early because it contains important public health infor mation Meanwhile on Monday the World Health Organization's assistant director general moved to defend the global body against accusations that it stoked unnec essary fear over a flu outbreak that appears to be rela tively mild "I hope we have come acroea as trying to present a very balanced Kejji ukuda told reporters in Geneva think that one of the things we made clear is that the future is not possible to predict and there are many ways that events could turn out could stay relatively mild things could become more severe Both of these are possible he said think without that information both people and countries can not prepare as well as they TUESDAY MAY 12
