MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The White House is reporting that the federal stimulus created or saved more than 10,000 jobs in Wisconsin.

The report released Friday by President Barack Obama’s Administration covers stimulus spending through Sept. 30. It only includes jobs calculated to be directly impacted by the stimulus money.

Nationwide, the White House said about 650,000 jobs were created or saved.

The state and University of Wisconsin previously reported about 8,400 jobs were created or saved. The additional jobs were from businesses, contractors, local governments and nonprofit groups and universities other than UW.

The report does not cover the impact of stimulus money that was spent on tax cuts, direct payments to individuals or unemployment benefits.

    Could there possibly be a more vague, untrackable, un-truth-detectable statistic than “or saved”? What does that even mean? If they think their goal is to actually help the economy, just leave it at “jobs created”, then you have accountability. Obviously that’s not what they want here. Only a bunch of liars, crooks and con-men feel the need to enhance the verbage with something this nebulous. It’s almost like a Saturday Night Live parody sketch from the cronic liar guy…”yeah see, there was 3, 5..no 8… hundred…no…thousand jobs…yeah that’s it, 8 thousand jobs”….
    What a load of ****!…they could claim anything. Why not 50,000 jobs that haven’t been laid off yet….why, we ‘saved’ those jobs.
    I’m actually surprised the number they chose to fabricate is this low, they usually like to inflate way more than this.
    By the way, creating a government job does very little to spur economic growth… it’s close to counter-productive in reality (for those of you who haven’t completely denied all the laws of basic economics yet).
    Loosen the reigns on the private sector…government spending has NEVER produced true, lasting economic growth…..never…. regardless how much you hope and change.

However, JSOnline found that stimulus  jobs were double counted and cost of living increases were [...]
