Rep. Bilirakis: Stimulus Failing to Create Jobs in Florida

October 8, 2009

NOTE: The White House's February 2009 projection of the number of jobs that would be created by the 2009 stimulus law (through the end of 2010) does not compare favorably with the actual change in state payroll employment through August 2009 (the latest state-by-state figures currently available). Florida lost 150,000 jobs between February and August 2009.
