The Obama administration says the Recovery Act created or saved 640,000 jobs through September. Here's a state-by-state breakdown.

Michigan. 22,514 jobs..........almost exclusively in education and government.

Not to mention that the new/saved jobs may not exist at all.

I believe these jobs numbers to avoid being called a racist.

[TexasFreeper2009]

none.

[cripplecreek]

I’m just going to use some Clintonspeak and call it a projected jobs surplus.

Once again, CNN plays stenographer for the Great One! Not one word about how “saved” jobs are identified. Is it any wonder CNN’s ratings are in the toilet?

The numbers are crap just like everything else out of Obama. Check out this from the Chicago area schools "saved or created" list: “Data on stimulus-related jobs don't add up” WGN 11/3/09 A few excerpts: More than $4.7 million in federal stimulus aid so far has been funneled to schools in North Chicago, and state and federal officials say that money has saved the jobs of 473 teachers. Problem is, the district employs only 290 teachers. ......... In the official report, Wilmette Public Schools District 39 was credited with 166 jobs saved by stimulus aid. Superintendent Raymond Lechner said the number should be zero. ......... At Dolton-Riverdale School District 148, stimulus funds were said to have saved the equivalent of 382 full-time teaching jobs -- 142 more than the district actually has. ......... A similar discrepancy was found in data for Kankakee School District 111, where the stimulus report logged the equivalent of 665 full-time jobs saved. "That's impossible," a top Kankakee school official said, adding that the entire payroll -- full and part time -- is 600 workers. ......... In Schaumburg-based School District 54, Superintendent Ed Rafferty said the state's estimate of 250 jobs preserved or created was accurate, though more than half belonged to a multidistrict preschool program that includes District 54. Just a handful of the jobs were new, Rafferty said, and he warned that every position propped up by stimulus money would be in jeopardy when the program expires. "Unless there's a guarantee of continuation of (federal or state) money, the vast majority of these will be eliminated because there won't be local resources to fund them," he said. A similar discrepancy was found in data for Kankakee School District 111, where the stimulus report logged the equivalent of 665 full-time jobs saved. "That's impossible," a top Kankakee school official said, adding that the entire payroll -- full and part time -- is 600 workers.

Our government said one company saved over 750 jobs. One problem.......the company had less than 500 total employees. Now, break down how many jobs were created from jobs saved and you will see totally different numbers.
