Leaders from top US companies including Google, AT&T, Disney and FedEx will attend a jobs summit on December 3 at the White House, a White House spokeswoman said on Sunday.

The forum is meant to help devise ways to combat double-digit unemployment.

In October, the US jobless rate unexpectedly jumped to a 26.5-year high of 10.2%.

The White House said there would be approximately 130 attendees at the jobs forum ranging from small business owners to academics, to large corpates.

Confirmed attendees include Google CEO Eric Schmidt,  FedEx CEo Frederick Smith, Walt Disney's CEO Bob Iger and Boeing CEO James McNerney.
