President Barack Obama meets with his economic
advisory board today as the administration hopes to ignite a strong
recovery.
The 16-member advisory board is headed by former Fed chief Paul
Volcker and includes top leaders of business and labor. It is
designed to give the president the view from outside the
administration.
This will be just the second meeting Obama has had with the
board.
The meeting follows word of a surprisingly strong third-quarter
growth spurt, though jobs are still in short supply.
