The National University System was established in 2001 to meet the emerging challenges and demands of education in the 21st century. The System is uniquely aligned to connect a diverse population of students to a network of innovative educational programs that are relevant to their lives, careers, and the marketplace and are delivered in a format that respects competing life priorities.

Answer: Yes
It would have been better for Congress to have already stimulated the economy through tax cuts, regulatory reforms, and more clarity on their future actions, thus allowing the private sector to expand more strongly to hire additional workers.
Unfortunately, at this point, extending unemployment benefits yet again is critically needed. Jobless benefits are arguably a disincentive to work as it induces or allows some to hold out for better paying jobs than those available. But at a time of high unemployment, even lower paying jobs are not accessible. More money in the pockets of workers strengthens the economy.
