And that’s just it. Most of the jobs “saved” are public sector jobs. I’d love to see the breakdown public to private. Even private sector jobs created tend to be temporary like sub contracted transportation and construction projects. My take is that if they are “giving stimulus” monies to either state or local governments they are counting all of the workers these two entities employ and then saying that as a result of their actions they were “saved.” They are betting that eventually the economy will improve enough before the “stimulus” runs out to provide the additional tax revenues needed to sustain this employment. If they’re wrong, watch out.
