Obama Announces Job Plan at Linked In Event

Yesterday President Obama continued explaining his jobs plan at a town hall meeting in the Silicon Valley.

The meeting, conducted in cooperation with business social networking company LinkedIn, created an ideal partnership as LinkedIn has more than 120 million members who are primarily professionals.

The president fielded pre-screened questions from an audience of 300 people, most of whom were LinkedIn employees and members.

While LinkedIn is primarily popular among business professionals, this event will likely gain exposure for the company outside of their corporate-dominated membership.

Obama’s speech emphasized the importance of technology in creating jobs. Social platforms such as LinkedIn that are able to connect people based on their work experiences are pivotal in the current job-recruitment process.
