| Description | Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in Denver, Colorado today. Friday's final vote was 246-176, with Rep. Dan Lipinski (IL-03) voting present and three obvious-outcome votes not in attendance.
The White House released updated state-by-state and district-by-district projections for job creation today, and the average number of jobs projected over the next two years to be created by the bill in Republican-held districts exceeds those of Democratic-held districts by 418 jobs per district, 8,185 to 7,767.
Another way of saying that is, Republican districts can expect 5.4% more jobs added to their districts on average, based on White House projections. |
