White House to Count Stimulus Jobs Differently

Ever since the $800 billion stimulus package was launched and the White House committed to keeping track of the number of jobs created and saved, the administration has had quite a good deal of difficulty keeping those numbers straight.  Now, stimulus jobs are going to counted differently.

Propublica.org: When the White House unveiled its nearly $800 billion stimulus package last year, it promised not only to create and save 3.5 million jobs but also to open the books and prove it. But counting jobs turned out to be a lot harder than lining up a work crew and tapping hardhats.

Now, the White House says it will no longer keep a cumulative tally of jobs created and saved by the stimulus. Instead, it will post only a count of jobs for each quarter.

And instead of counting only created and saved jobs, it will count any person who works on a project funded with stimulus money—even if that person was never in danger of losing his or her job.
