Reason #25: Democrats’ $1 Trillion Stimulus Didn’t Create Manufacturing Jobs Like They Promised

August 12, 2014 — The Jobs Search   

Democrats’ $1 Trillion Stimulus Didn’t Create Manufacturing Jobs Like They Promised.  In January 2009, the Administration promised their stimulus would create over 400,000 manufacturing jobs by December 2010.  Instead, under this Administration, that many manufacturing jobs have been lost.

Sources: January 2009 Romer/Bernstein Report (“Predicted with Stimulus”), and Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (“Actual”).
