The president's plan is likely to contain tax cuts, jobs-boosting infrastructure ideas and steps that would specifically help the long-term unemployed. The official emphasized that all of Obama's proposals would be fresh ones, not a rehash of plans he has pitched for many weeks and still supports.
On a significant and related front, Obama will also present a specific plan to cut the long-term national debt and to pay for the cost of his new short-term economic ideas.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because Obama has not disclosed his plans.
