The House passed the Senate's $15 billion jobs bill in a 217-201 vote on Thursday.

Lawmakers voted to approve the package, which provides a series of tax credits for job creation and other stimulus measures after Democrats struggled to pass a rule for the legislation.

The final vote counts within each party in the House was not immediately clear, as the chair held open the vote to allow two stragglers to vote on the legislation before it was gaveled closed. At least 210 Democrats voted to support the measure, and 33 voted against it. Six Republicans voted to support the bill, while at least 166 voted against it.
