WASHINGTON (AP) -- About 650,000 jobs have been saved or created under President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan, the White House said today, saying it is on track to reach the president’s goal of 3.5 million jobs by the end of next year.

New job numbers from businesses, contractors, state and local governments, nonprofit groups and universities were scheduled to be released publicly later Friday. White House economic adviser Jared Bernstein said the figures will show that, when adding in jobs linked to $288 billion in tax cuts, the stimulus plan has created or saved more than 1 million jobs.

The data will be posted on recovery.gov, the Web site of the independent panel overseeing stimulus spending.

“It’s a great example of the unprecedented transparency, where the American taxpayer can point and click and see their taxes creating jobs,” Bernstein said.
