By CBO’s numbers, the $800 billion stimulus added up to 900,000 jobs in 2009, 3.3 million jobs in 2010 and 2.6 million jobs in 2011.
Also: G.M. sold 9,025,942 vehicles last year, 7.6 percent more than in 2010. Its closest competitor was Volkswagen, whose sales grew 14 percent to 8.156 million, with Toyota falling to third place.

Don't forget to subtract all the jobs that were lost when the green companies went bankrupt. Most of the jobs created were public sector jobs that the taxpayer has to pay for.

The labor market recovery is slow. The economy has added jobs continuously since October 2010. There were more than 100,000 jobs each month for six months in a row, from July to December 2011, marking the first such six-month period since late 2005 to early 2006. And the private sector continuously added jobs from March 2010 to December 2011 for a total of 3.2 million jobs. But state and local governments are cutting jobs for teachers, bus drivers, firefighters, and police officers, among others, reflecting governments’ budget troubles. A total of 447,000 state and local government jobs were lost between March 2010 and December 2011. The bottom line is that job creation is a top policy priority since private-sector job growth is still too weak to overcome other job losses and to improve the economic fortunes of America’s middle class.

jobs that the pay didn't equate to previous pay levels....it's a shakedown sure.....and the recovery in job #'s may look good but the loss of multiple other factors in one's life after being 'shakendown' to pay RobinHood and the Merry Dudes has been dehumanising...especially when the rhetoric doesn't match the grunts life and reality.....raising the minimum wage? really? now?....everyone is getting a 'minimum makeover'......

President Barack Obama and stimulus

(CNSNews.com) - The jobs created and saved by the economic stimulus law that President Barack Obama signed on Feb. 17, 2009 cost at a minimum an average of $228,055 each, according to data released yesterday by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
To create the job it cost $228,055 and THEN SOME....because in that cost is some government worker with future payouts of healthcare/retirement.....so the calculator doesn't stop there.......

Over $200,000 per job at the expense of taxpayers is nothing to be proud of.

But for some on this board, spending over $1 Trillion dollars in a failed, unnecessary oil war in Iraq was a good investment.

Its easy to invest when using others money and its easier to make risky decisions when using others money, that is why the government fails so much. Sure I would rather have money spent here than abroad but the costs show even that is a failure when the government tries to run the show.

If had a dollar for everytime a person described America as un-checked capitalism, I would be a lying lazy government bureaucrat.
I'm sure you would be quite good at it... You've had lots of practice!
