With unemployment at nearly 10% nationwide, the Senate voted 70 to 28 in favor of a $15 billion bill to help create jobs. While it's a victory for Senate Democrats--particularly majority leader Harry Reid, who scrapped a bipartisan draft earlier this month--the bill still has to pass the House or be reconciled with the lower chamber's $154 billion version, approved in December.
