Out of the $26,174, probably half of that was materials to fix his roof and fence.

That leaves about $13,000 for labor. 450 hours divided by six people equals roughly 1 1/2 weeks each.

So in reality the “450 jobs saved” equated to about a $2000 temporary job for six people for less than two weeks work.

Is this job really saved?
