Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) — President Barack Obama is meeting today with chief executives from Bank of America Corp. to EBay Inc. to ask for help in reducing job discrimination against the long-term unemployed.
The White House released a list of 23 corporate or small business leaders joining with Obama and Vice President Joe Biden to discuss better job training to expand manufacturing capacity and help people who have been jobless for years re-enter the workforce. They include AT&T Inc., CVS Caremark Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and The Kroger Co.
