At the risk of being called Republic tools (as opposed to the just plain “tools” we’re normally called), we quote directly from the Republican Ways and Means website:
The table below compares the White House’s February 2009 projection of the number of jobs that would be created by the 2009 stimulus law (through the end of 2010) with the actual change in state payroll employment through September 2009 (the latest figures available).
According to the data, 49 States and the District of Columbia have lost jobs since stimulus was enacted. Only North Dakota has seen net job creation following the February 2009 stimulus.
While President Obama claimed the result of his stimulus bill would be the creation of 3.5 million jobs, the Nation has already lost a total of 2.7 million – a difference of 6.2 million jobs. To see how stimulus has failed your state, see the table below.
1800 jobs in North Dakota. We have to admit we’re surpised. We didn’t know Indian casinos had that many blackjack dealers.
Here’s the chart, look up your state:

So what industry in North Dakota is gaining all of these jobs? Gaming? Or maybe it is a welcoming committee for all of the new job seekers? BTW, are these Green jobs for vegans? Guess I’ll stay put and unload the Grapes of Wrath pick-up.
Quick glance at this chart shows that the estimates are nearly 100% wrong in the opposite direction– i.e. instead of creating 34K jobs Nevada lost 34K jobs. Poses well for their ability to ‘estimate’ the financing of the health care agenda.
I’m not 100% certain, but being from MN with ND relatives, I believe the jobs are related to the OIL FIELDS in North Dakota.
And I wonder if each of those 1,800 jobs cost e.g. $174,000 each to create? (By taking the amount of stimulus funds spent divided by 1,800 that is.)
