A Million jobs sounds great.
I saw this little item on a large newspaper article:
“The White House said Friday that the $787-billion stimulus package had created or saved about 1 million jobs so far…”
Some people are questioning the accuracy of the 1 million claim. I am not, I concede the estimate is the best that can be made given that it is impossible to actually know what would have happened if the stimulus had not been enacted into law.
Except that $787 Billion divided by 1 Million is $787, 000, over 3/4 of a million dollars spent or committed to be spent for each of these jobs. What a country!
