His other reasons for optimism on the jobs front :

* Since the stimulus was passed in February 2009, only $237.6 billion (30 percent) of the $787 billion package has entered the economy. The tax cuts and infrastructure spending in the pipeline for 2010 and 2011 will support job creation.

* New Jersey Transit just approved a $583 million contract for two construction firms to get cracking on a new commuter rail tunnel connecting New York and New Jersey under the Hudson River. It will create at least 1,000 jobs starting next year.

* The the weak dollar point to a second source of support for job growth: exports.

Exports fell from $164 billion in July 2008 to $122 billion in April 2009, but they’ve risen in every month since then, to $137 billion in October. On Dec. 4, Korean Air announced an order for five Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental jetliners for a total of $1.5 billion.

* There’s a work-sharing proposal just drafted in which companies are given incentives to hire more people.
