American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Jobs
The Recovery Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. The purpose of the $787 billion Recovery package is to jump-start the economy to create and save jobs. The Act specifies appropriations for a wide range of federal programs. See Federal job opportunities available under the Recovery Act.

On November 9, 2009, President Obama signed an Executive Order on the Employment of Veterans in the Federal Government, which establishes the Veterans Employment Initiative for the Executive Branch. The Initiative underscores to federal agencies the importance of recruiting and training veterans, aims to increase the employment of veterans within the Executive Branch, and helps recently hired veterans adjust to service in a civilian capacity.
