08 Aug 12 - 09:52 PM (#3387840) Subject: BS: 3 to 4 million jobs will be created From: Sawzaw White House Releases State-By-State Employment Data on Impact of American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan January 9, 2009 WASHINGTON, D.C. – During a briefing with National Economic Council Director Larry Summers, the White House today released state-by-state data detailing the jobs impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan. Summers discussed President Barack Obama's plan to create jobs, stimulate the economy, and foster long-term economic growth. "We need to immediately jumpstart job creation and President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan will help those who have suffered the most during this economic crisis. Our economy is in the midst of an unprecedented crisis and we need to act now," Summers said today. Obama's plan will create 3-4 million jobs over the next two years. See below for state-by-state data detailing the employment impact of the recovery plan. AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT PLAN: STATE-BY-STATE JOBS IMPACT The American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan is a nationwide effort to create jobs, jumpstart growth and transform our economy to compete in the 21st century. The President has set a central goal that this plan will create or save 3 to 4 million jobs over the next two years. Independent analyses by Macroeconomic Advisers and Moody's have confirmed that the recovery plan will meet this jobs goal. Jobs created will be in a range of industries from clean energy to health care, with over 90% in the private sector. The table below outlines the impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan on employment by state. The estimates are derived from an analysis of the overall employment impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act conducted by Christina Romer, Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, and Jared Bernstein, Chief Economist for the Vice President, and detailed estimates of the working age population, employment, and industrial composition of each state. These estimates are tentative, and subject to change based on the final composition of the legislation. Employment Impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan State Estimated Effect Alabama 55,000 Alaska 9,000 Arizona 74,000 Arkansas 33,000 California 421,000 currently 10.7% unemployment 3rd highest in the US Colorado 63,000 Connecticut 44,000 Delaware 11,000 DC 13,000 Florida 218,000 Georgia 113,000 Hawaii 17,000 Idaho 18,000 Illinois 158,000 Indiana 79,000 Iowa 39,000 Kansas 35,000 Kentucky 51,000 Louisiana 53,000 Maine 16,000 Maryland 70,000 Duh, Maryland lost 11,000 jobs last month Massachusetts 83,000 Michigan 116,000 Minnesota 70,000 Mississippi 32,000 Missouri 73,000 Montana 12,000 Nebraska 24,000 Nevada 36,000 currently 11.6% unemployment highest in the US New Hampshire 17,000 New Jersey 106,000 New Mexico 23,000 New York 228,000 North Carolina 111,000 North Dakota 9,000 Ohio 142,000 Oklahoma 42,000 Oregon 46,000 Pennsylvania 152,000 Rhode Island 13,000 currently 10.9% unemployment 2nd highest in the US South Carolina 54,000 South Dakota 10,000 Tennessee 75,000 Texas 286,000 Utah 33,000 Vermont 8,000 Virginia 99,000 Washington 80,000 West Virginia 21,000 Wisconsin 74,000 Wyoming 8,000 HMMMMMMMMMMMM according to BLS.GOV the labor force has shrunk by 2 million from 65.7 million to 63.7 million since the beginning of 2009. So where were the 3 to 4 million jobs created? China? |

These numbers represent the jobs created by the stimulus and not the entire economy... Obama never said that the stimulus created 4 millions jobs... He said that his economic policies, which are not all on the stimulus, have created 4 million jobs... Guess again, Saws... Garbage in, garbage out... Read real stuff and not right winged spin blogs... B~ |

09 Aug 12 - 05:39 PM (#3388122) Subject: RE: BS: 3 to 4 million jobs will be created From: GUEST,mg We need to find a way to have more jobs for agricultural workers..fruit is rotting on the vines while there are strong, able people unemployed. Some people would not mind agricultural work, and some would be delighted by it, if there were good sanitation facilities, safe, decent housing..perhaps mobile..secure places. We need more dairies (yes, it is perfectly safe and wonderful for some descendents of some people..like Swiss to eat dairy products)that can employ people locally..we don't need to have one big dairy farm taking up half of Wisconsin. We need to realize as a country that some people are temporarily unemployed and underemployed and some, due to handicaps, low energy, whatever, are going to not be competitive and we need to set up jobs for them..could be public sector farms for disabled etc...maybe growing for public schools or something...We need way better animal husbandry..and Iowa does not need to be one big pig farm either...we could get smarter by far.. |

10 Aug 12 - 06:28 PM (#3388502) Subject: RE: BS: 3 to 4 million jobs will be created From: artbrooks Simple math (numbers are made-up): start with 500,000 jobs. Eliminate 50,000 jobs in industry, commerce and service industries. Eliminate 50,000 government jobs (police, firefighters, teachers, bureaucrats). Total job loss is 100,000. Create 90,000 new jobs in industry, commerce and service industries. Net reduction in jobs is 10,000. The word net means what is left when you add and/or subtract changes from the figure you started with. A net reduction in population means that deaths exceed births, not that there are no births. A net reduction in jobs means that job losses exceed gains, not that there are no gains. |

10 Aug 12 - 07:04 PM (#3388517) Subject: RE: BS: 3 to 4 million jobs will be created From: Sawzaw So how many jobs were lost? |

10 Aug 12 - 07:40 PM (#3388534) Subject: RE: BS: 3 to 4 million jobs will be created From: GUEST,999 Well, I figure it this way: The Supreme Court is a jury of sorts. There are 9 of them, so that's 3 jobs lost regarding juries. Yanks decided to have 11 and not 12 players in football, so that's another. Black holes account for at least 8, so I'd hazard a guess at an even dozen. ############################## Is there a prize for the correct answer? |

10 Aug 12 - 09:13 PM (#3388573) Subject: RE: BS: 3 to 4 million jobs will be created From: Bobert Here's the way it works, Sawz... You pump $$$ into the economy and it works at all levels... It's like your lawn mower... You get trash in the carb (No money in the economy) then it quits on you... There are times when the private sector is pumpin' in enough $$$ to keep the engine running an that's fine... Leave it the heck alo0ne and pay off debt... These times ain't them... This is what used to be taught in every college in America with the exception of FEU (Flat Earth University)... It's basic economics... I mean, single moms with 9th grade educations understand it... Pay your debt when you can and borrow when you can't... This ain't f'n rocket surgery here... B~ |

10 Aug 12 - 10:36 PM (#3388590) Subject: RE: BS: 3 to 4 million jobs will be created From: Sawzaw Who said this?: "Barry Goldwater amd Richard Nixon would not believe their eyes if they could see the amount of deficit spending that their present day, so called conservatives, are involved with... And for what?" "The fact that we're here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. Leadership means 'The buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt limit." Who posted this?: "The Bush-Cheney team has racked up another $3 trillion in debt in just 6 years. The US national debt now stands at $8.4 trillion dollars" "And federal debt has ballooned to $8.3 trillion, up from $5.6 trillion when Mr. Bush took office. Republicans are trying to raise the authorized debt ceiling to $9.6 trillion." |
