Good grief. And the number that was originally reporter was paltry enough, considering the unemployment rate. Excerpt:
An early progress report on President Barack Obama’s economic recovery plan overstates by thousands the number of jobs created or saved through the stimulus program, a mistake that White House officials promise will be corrected in future reports.
[…]
The AP review found some counts were more than 10 times as high as the actual number of jobs; some jobs credited to the stimulus program were counted two and sometimes more than four times; and other jobs were credited to stimulus spending when none was produced.
CNN was too busy fact-checking SNL to confirm the president’s actual job growth numbers.
