Panel during Obama administration of mostly industry CEOs from outsourcing companies, created to advise "possible ways to improve the nation's economy".

The President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, originally the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board (PERAB), was an ad hoc panel of non-governmental experts from business, labor unions, academia and elsewhere that President of the United States Barack Obama created on February 6, 2009. The board reported to Obama and his economic team on possible ways to improve the nation's economy. Obama announced this new board on November 26, 2008, and also announced that it would be chaired by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker with campaign economic adviser Austan Goolsbee as staff director and chief economist.

The members were mostly industry CEOs from outsourcing companies, with a few representatives from labor unions and academia sprinkled.[1][2]

The council met a total of four times, with its final meeting on January 17, 2012.[3] In 2013, the authorization for the council was not renewed, causing the council to be permanently shut down.[4]
