STIMULUS WATCH: Salary raise counted as saved job
STIMULUS WATCH: Salary raise counted as saved job

President Barack Obama's economic recovery program saved 935 jobs at the Southwest Georgia Community Action Council, an impressive success story for the stimulus plan. Trouble is, only 508 people work there.

I guess the Adminstration guessed wrong, again.

About two-thirds of the 14,506 jobs claimed to be saved under one federal office, the Administration for Children and Families at Health and Human Services, actually weren't saved at all, according to a review of the latest data by The Associated Press. Instead, that figure includes more than 9,300 existing employees in hundreds of local agencies who received pay raises and benefits and whose jobs weren't saved.

I wonder if my job counts in their figure, since I received a raise recently.
