I believe the story about the DCX plant was already posted as "10,000 New Jobs".
Actual jobs at the plant is about 2000, but they pumped up the number by a factor of 5 to estimate the multiplier effect of smaller supporting businesses that would accompany the new facility.

I don't know if a factor as great as 5 is valid, but it is true that the economic stimulus would produce additional jobs beyond the ones directly created at the new facility.

It is also true, however, that the same "ripple effect" produces more job losses than what is anounced when a plant closes.

2000~3000 new DCX jobs in Georgia is good news.
It helps offset 7000~8000 job losses in Georgia from Delta Airlines.
