So now to make the stimulus package look like it is working they are going to count it as a job no matter what.

I like the Chrysler example

When Chrysler reported a $53 million contract to build 3,000 government vehicles last fall, it listed zero jobs because it used existing employees to fill the orders. But under the new rules, those workers would have counted.

I read that they have changed the way they are counting these, and they will just be counting the jobs that are actually paid by stimulus money... haven't read too much about it tho.

"Romer, meanwhile, said the stimulus is well on its way to meeting Obama's stated goal of saving or creating 3.5 million jobs. "We are very much tracking what we anticipated," she said."
