The jobs legislation would also extend highway and mass transit programs through the end of the year.
(AP) -- The U.S. Senate has passed a bill aimed at boosting job growth by giving tax breaks to businesses that hire the unemployed.
The jobs legislation would also extend highway and mass transit programs through the end of the year and pump $20 billion into them in time for the construction season.
The measure now goes back to the house which passed a far more ambitious version in December.
