Administration eyeing steps to aid laid-off workers
Washington officials said the Obama administration considers extensions of unemployment and COBRA health benefits, first-time home buyer tax credits, and other relief ideas to ease jobless burdens while avoiding a second stimulus package. Unemployment reached 9.8 percent in September with 15.1 million unemployed and 7.2 million jobs lost since December 2007. Republicans blame Democratic policies for continued losses and oppose the health proposals.
