Just weeks after the economic stimulus package spent billions on what the administration hoped would be massive job gains, Vice President Joe Biden Sunday hailed the re-opening of a Chicago factory as early evidence the stimulus plan is working.
In a statement released by the White House today, Biden commended owners of Republic Windows and Doors, a Chicago company that had closed down late last year, for re-opening the plant and rehiring 250 employees.
"The reopening of this factory and the rehiring of these workers provide an excellent example of how the money in the Recovery Act is targeted to spur job creation quickly," Biden said in a statement. "These workers will not only earn a paycheck again; they will go back to work creating products that will benefit America’s long-term economic future."
