1.What is this item about?
This article is about the recent uplift in jobs and people getting back to work since october 2009. Obama announced the rate of unemployment decreasing from 10.2% to 10%. If not for the 787 billion dollar stimulus package, reporters say that the unemployment rate would have been much greater, as in 8.8 million instead of 7.2 million. So overall, this article is about how the United States is getting more jobs and recovering slowly but surely from this frustrating recession.

Marissa, Nice job. I agree that it's overall factual -- it shows the bad news as well as good and talks to economists from both parties. Your summary gets to the heart of the matter.
