Senate Job Creation Bill Expected This Summer

In an effort to jumpstart the economy, the Senate is expected to take up new job creation legislation sometime this summer. While some in Congress have indicated their support for an infrastructure spending package, it appears more likely that the Senate bill will focus on extension of payroll tax breaks and other similar efforts. The Obama Administration has indicated support for extending payroll tax deductions, which are set to expire in December, and also support for a payroll-tax reduction for employers.
