November 2, 2009: Recovery.gov

Recovery.gov

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.

No cost to users.
