Recovery.gov went live shortly after President Obama signed the Recovery Act
into law on Feb. 17, 2009. Given its primary mandate -- to allow taxpayers to see precisely
what entities receive Recovery money in addition to how and where the money is spent -- the site
displays easy-to-understand, user-friendly graphs, charts, and maps.
These tools, which the site continues to enhance and refine, offer both telescopic
and microscopic views of Recovery spending and projects across the country, from a larger
national overview down to details of individual projects in specific zip codes.
An Opportunities tab links to federal jobs and employment information, advice
and tools, such as resume templates and interview tips, a database of federal government contracts, a way
to find and apply for federal grants, a place to search for information on loans you may be eligible for,
and information on government benefits you may be eligible for.
