The stimulus spending cost to create 1 job is $71k. Sadly the stimulus has created 30,383 jobs so far!
Meanwhile we are losing around 300,000+ each month.

The White House unveiled Thursday the first hard data on how many jobs the $787 billion recovery act has created.

These firms have been awarded a total of $16 billion. – CNN
