Hats off to David Freddoso and Mark Hemingway from the Washington Examiner for doing this research. They created a map of 75,343 bogus jobs "created or saved" by the Stimulus bill.

On the site, you can see a map of jobs that were reportedly "created or saved" and a description of what those jobs were. And, most importantly, they have good sources on the information.

Some good examples of these bogus jobs:

"The Southwest Georgia Community Action Council claimed to have saved 935 jobs with the $1.3 million it received, even though only 508 people work there. In fact, the group used most of its grant to give raises and now says it created 9.35 jobs."

"Koring Group reported hiring 52 people, but it turns out that they double-counted jobs that “only lasted about two months.” The FCC estimates that “actual job count is closer to five.”"

"Stetson University claimed to have created or saved 483 jobs with a grant of only $193,469."

And there is much, much more on the site. Check it out.
