D.C. has no count of jobs from stimulus Received $885M from feds since 2009 By Jeffrey Anderson-The Washington Times Wednesday, March 7, 2012
Despite receiving more than $885 million in federal economic stimulus funds since 2009, the D.C. government — whose residents face one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation — cannot say how many jobs it actually created for those who live in the District.
Most of the money has been spent, and data suggest that overall regional job growth did occur as a result of the massive infusion of capital. But a review by The Washington Times of figures provided by D.C. officials shows that the city spent hundreds of millions of dollars without being able to demonstrate any significant improvement in the city’s jobs outlook..........................>>>>.....................>>>>.......................http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/mar/7/dc-has-no-count-of-jobs-from-stimulus/
It's the D.C. version of the Metroplex. Go figure, two government entities spending money on our behalf that can't prove that they're doing a good job. It will live on, no matter how successful or not.
