"jobs funded"? you could have the same job that you have had for the past 30 years, and if you are in a state that received an obama stimulus buck, argue that your job was indirectly "funded" by the unstimulus.
there can only be one reason that they are burying this data under a mountain of BS; it's because they KNOW what the real number of stimulus jobs is, and don't want the public to ever know the truth.
White House changes how stimulus jobs are countedNEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Now we'll never know just how many jobs were funded by the $787 billion stimulus program.
Until a policy change last month, Obama administration officials had said they would keep a running count of the number of jobs created or saved by the massive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Going forward, the White House will only tally jobs one quarter at a time and not attempt to determine a total.
On top of that, the administration has directed Recovery Act recipients to report all jobs funded with stimulus money - regardless of whether they were new jobs or existing ones. That change gets rid of the controversial "jobs saved" designation, which asked recipients to determine which positions would have been eliminated were it not for stimulus.
The new requirements apply to the reports that recipients are filing now for the last three months of 2009. Those figures, which will be released to the public by month's end, will be the second concrete look at stimulus' employment impact. The first tally showed that 640,000 jobs were created or saved through September.
