I entered my zip code and it shows that 12 grants where made for a total of $4,947,558 . But it only shows 6 with a total of $2,811,964. the biggest being a small town. no jobs where created in any of them. one is for community services? What a scam. Thank you.

It sounds like your area is doing better than mine.
In my zip code, there has been 1 awards in the amount of $146,888 resulting in 0 “Recipient Reported Jobs,” and 5 grants in the amount of $1,891,441 resulting in 0 “Recipient Reported Jobs,” totaling 6 awards in the amount of $2,038,329 spent. Resulting in 0 “Recipient Reported Jobs.” spent without the creation of one single job as of 1/30/10.
Statewide, there have 446 contracts in the amount of $236,146,618 resulting in 925.39 “Recipient Reported Jobs,” 2019 grants in the amount of $3,139,818,284, resulting in 5,921.09 “Recipient Reported Jobs,” and 4 loans in the amount of $4,833,000 resulting in 9 “Recipient Reported Jobs,” totalling 2469 awards in the amount of $3,380,797,903 spent. Resulting in 6,855.48 “Recipient Reported Jobs.”
That means $493,152.62 has been spent per “Recipient Reported Job.”
“Recipient Reported Jobs” is a liberal/progressive buzzword for “jobs that already exist, or jobs that may exist in the future which receive stimulus money.” Employers who receive this stimulus money are in no way obligated to spend this money on creating new jobs, and since it is much easier to spend the money on jobs that already exist, with people who are already employed, it is not likely that new jobs will ever be created.
