US Government Failed Stimulus in Pictures: 10.2% Unemployment

When President Barack Obama was pitching his $787 billion economic stimulus package, the White House produced a report claiming their plan would keep unemployment under a peak of 8%.

Reality has not been kind to President Obama’s promises. On November 6, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released their Employment Situation Summary showing that the nation’s unemployment rate had soared from 9.8% to 10.2% in October. You can see how President Obama’s promises compare to reality to the right.

Reading the BLS report more closely, Heritage fellows Rea Hederman and James Sherk note:

Jobs losses in October–190,000–were higher than expected. … The unemployment rate for males is 10.7 percent while the teenage unemployment rate is 27.6 percent. These are the highest levels of unemployment for these groups since the Great Depression.

The unemployment rate increased even as 31,000 potential workers left the labor force. The labor force participation rate has now fallen to 65.1 percent–the lowest since 1986. When people reenter the labor market to find work, the unemployment rate will further increase.
…
Despite this ongoing deterioration in the job market, the Obama Administration continues to argue that the $800 billion stimulus bill has improved the economy. On October 30, the Administration released data claiming that the stimulus has created or saved 640,000 jobs. These claims are mistaken, as demonstrated by the 2.8 million jobs that have been lost since the stimulus became law. The Administration’s figures greatly exaggerate the positive effect of the stimulus for two reasons:

1. The data used to create these estimates contains serious flaws. The Administration provided unclear guidelines for how to report jobs created or saved. Media analyses of these jobs reports have found severe errors. For instance, the Associated Press found that two-thirds of the 15,000 jobs one agency reported creating or saving did not really exist. Rather, the agency reported workers who received raises with stimulus funding as having their jobs “saved.” In another case, a shoe store in Kentucky that provided nine pairs of boots to the Army Corps of Engineers for $889.60 reported saving nine jobs. Such errors pervade the stimulus job creation estimates.
2. A deeper problem with the Administration’s numbers is that they estimate the wrong figures. The Administration estimates the jobs directly funded by stimulus spending. However, they ignore the jobs that the money spent on the stimulus would have otherwise created. Congressional spending does not create wealth; it redistributes it. Had Congress not passed the stimulus bill, the private sector would have used those funds on other projects that would have also created jobs.

Teaching jobs at possibility of danger as Carmel battles deficit

Teaching jobs at possibility of danger as Carmel battles deficit

Carmel Clay Schools are facing a multi-million dollar deficit, putting dozens of teaching jobs in jeopardy.

The school board blames the school funding formula set out by the state as the source of their trouble. They are planning to ask for more money from property owners through a referendum.

"I would say a referendum is something many school districts around the state are going to be considering this year in light of the economy, in light of the state budget," said Carmel Clay Schools President Andrew Klein.

For the second time in a year, district Superintendent Dr. Barbara Underwood is faced with cutting teachers and staff.

"If a referendum were to pass, there would be some options for the district at that time, whether to make the cuts," Underwood said.

Without an additional source of funding, Underwood paints a grim picture of the district's financial future. She says she will have to cut one teacher from every elementary school, reduce staffing at the middle schools, eliminate summer school and cut a number of support staff. That would make up about half of the $3 million shortfall.

Adding further pressure to the budget, this is the second school year Carmel teachers have been working without a contract or raises. Four National Merit semi-finalists told the board they fear their education could be compromised without teacher involvement, which they say has dropped off.

"In the best interests of the Carmel Clay students, we ask that both sides make concessions to resolve this issue in a rapid manner," said one of the students.

A referendum could be in front of the voters in May.

MNS promises 100 pc jobs in local units to Marathis

Mumbai, Oct 11 (PTI) The Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) today promised it would ensure 100 per cent jobs in local industries to Marathi people.

"We will ensure 100 per cent jobs to sons of soil," Raj said, releasing his party's manifesto for the October 13 assembly elections, at his central Mumbai residence.

The manifesto, called 'vachaknama', also speaks of strictly implementing existing norms to deport those staying illegally in the state and action against illegal constructions.

"Those coming from outside and staying here illegally should get a message that they are not welcome here," he said.

Of the 288 seats in state assembly, MNS has fielded 143 candidates.
