Or should it be “Work Weak”.
Portland, Or is seeing some of those Stimulus jobs take effect.
And shortly thereafter seeing them stop taking effect.
How much are politicians straining to convince people that the government is stimulating the economy? In Oregon, where lawmakers are spending $176 million to supplement the federal stimulus, Democrats are taking credit for a remarkable feat: creating 3,236 new jobs in the program’s first three months.
But those jobs lasted on average only 35 hours, or about one work week. After that, those workers were effectively back unemployed, according to an Associated Press analysis of state spending and hiring data. By the state’s accounting, a job is a job, whether it lasts three hours, three days, three months, or a lifetime.
And you were wondering how the Obama Administration was going to get to that “Save or Create” number? They’re going to create the same job 200 times for a week at a time.
The only fuzzy part of that math is the mold it has growing on it.
