WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday listed a range of fresh options being considered by the White House to spur growth after "sobering" news that unemployment spiked to a 26 1/2-year peak last month.
Obama, who earlier signed a bill to extend jobless benefits and a homebuyer tax credit, said his team was studying new spending on roads and bridges, business tax cuts, refitting buildings to make them more energy efficient, easing the flow of credit to small businesses and boosting U.S. exports.
