President Barack Obama has indicated that he believes Congress will send him an economic stimulus bill by February 16, potentially setting the stage for an increase in economic activity.
On Friday, a Bloomberg News report quoted Obama as saying there are "some differences" between the White House and Congress on full details of the $850 billion economic stimulus bill, but that he believes its chances of passage are still "on target."
Some of the differences reportedly focus on the size of proposed tax cuts and the speed at which government-funded infrastructure projects can begin in order to benefit the economy.
Obama has also indicated that he wants greater oversight of companies receiving federal bailout funds amid indications that taxpayer funds continue to be misused on items like large executive bonuses and high-end office expenses.
The recent news suggests that MBA graduates will find plenty of opportunity in the coming months and years. With a stimulus plan in place, some early steps towards an economic recovery, job creation and more new businesses could be taken.
Also, the push for greater transparency could provide an opportunity for those with advanced business training to find careers in regulatory and watchdog roles to help guard against future abuses in the financial industry.
