Even so the cost per job is then $300,000. Invest $300,000 at 7% long-term and you can provide 24,000 per year to each potential worker for their life-time.
Another way to look at it. If the money were invested at 7% and paid out annualy to 3,600 workers over the next 10 years, each worker would get about $41,000 per year.
There is no way to spin this as making financial sense.
That $300.000/job you are talking about is being taken from us now,isn`t it better to have it go towards productivity rather than a handout as you seem to suggest.
If I am misunderstanding your basic point,please forgive.
They will probably end up being jobs Americans don't want to do, anyway. More $ saved./sarc
