Stimulus Created or Saved 30,000 jobs; Just 233,000 more and We Break Even

Now this is not the kind of thing to be trumpeting about the failed stimulus.

Businesses reported creating or saving more than 30,000 jobs in the first months of President Barack Obama's stimulus program, according to initial data released Thursday by a government oversight board. Military construction led the way, and states in the South and Southwest saw the biggest boost.

I'm not sure what months these jobs were "created or saved" during but for September 2009 we lost another 263,000 jobs. I would really like to know the per job amount that we had to pay for each of these jobs. Also how many of these jobs will be around once we blow the $787 billion "stimulus" on some crap.
