U.S. construction workers cheer stimulus dollars

http://www.reuters.com/article/GCA-Economy/idUSTRE5517QI20090602

Willie Fort he came really close to losing his construction job, but now he has a big highway project in Louisiana that will give him a secure job for at least two years.He is from Mississippi and father of four, and he is one among hundreds of construction workers who are either keeping their jobs or finding new employment, while they wait for the stimulus package that consists of $787 billion.

I chose this article because it shows the story of a men who almost lost his job and that's the story of many in the U.S. And others have already lost their jobs. I agree with what the gov't is doing to help the workers. The story is presented well and i would use this source again.
