在每周讲话中，美国总统奥巴马集中关注就业问题，呼吁国会支持促进就业的计划。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "In the 2000s alone, we lost more than one-third of all American manufacturing jobs. One in three. And when the housing bubble burst, workers in the construction industry were hit harder than just about anybody. The good news is, today, our manufacturers have added more than 620,000 jobs over the last four years - the first sustained growth in manufacturing jobs since the 1990s."
美国总统奥巴马：“仅从2000年以来，我们美国制造业的就业岗位就损失了超过三分之一，每三个人中就有一个人失业。当房产泡沫破裂后，建筑行业从业者受到了比任何人都严重的打击。好消息是，今天，我们的制造业在过去的四年中增加了超过620,000个就业岗位，这是自90年代以来制造业就业岗位首次出现持续增长。”
Obama is calling on Congress to back plans to create high-tech manufacturing hubs and infrastructure projects.
奥巴马呼吁国会支持建造生产中心和基础设施工程的计划。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "There's a lot we can do if we work together. And while Congress decides what it's going to do, I'm going to keep doing everything in my power to rebuild an economy where everyone who works hard has the chance to get ahead - where we're restoring our founding vision of opportunity for all."
美国总统奥巴马：“如果我们团结一致的话，可以采取很多措施。只要国会下定决心，我将在职权范围内尽一切努力重振经济，每个努力工作的人都有机会获得成功，我们将为所有人的梦想提供可能性。”
Obama has said he will pay for the new spending "by cutting unnecessary spending and closing wasteful tax loopholes."
奥巴马表示，他将通过“削减不必要的支出和关闭浪费颇多的税收漏洞”来支付这笔费用。

(SOUNDBITE) GRANT COUNTY SPOKESPERSON THOMAS STREDWICK SAYING: "We're doing everything in our power right now to lower the lever of water above Wanapum dam within a certain tolerance, to be able to alleviate some of the pressure on that spillway pier."
格兰特县发言人THOMAS STREDWICK：“我们正在职权范围内尽一切努力在一定程度上降低瓦纳普姆大坝的水位，暂时缓解泄洪闸墩的压力。”
