Washington D.C. (BLOOMBERG) — The Obama administration is marking the one-year anniversary of economic stimulus legislation with efforts to show the measure sparked economic growth and curbed rising unemployment.

“It’s understandable why people are still frustrated. But the act has succeeded,” Biden said yesterday at a community college in Saginaw, Michigan, that received stimulus funds for worker training.
