A Five Mile Road in Washington State: Gets $6.8 in Stimulus Funds and “Creates or Saves” Twenty Jobs

As I was looking at Washington State’s “Created or Saved” jobs information on the nation’s number one comedy website, Recovery.gov, I noticed a number of business’s working on the same stretch of road that leads to Olympic National Forest.

Here are the government contracts, which you can find for yourself here.  Just click on the contracts scattered around the town of South Bend.

So, using our slide rule, we have $6,884,926/20 jobs=$344,246 per job.

Five miles of road.  Twenty jobs.  $6.8 million dollars.
