“Stimulus” Spending Has Created 50 Jobs In New Hampsire At A Cost Of $8.32 Million/Job

And all of the jobs are temporary bureaucrat positions that will cease to exist once the “stimulus” funds are depleted. At least, New Hampshire residents had better hope that’s the case, or else the jobs will just continue and their tax bills will go up to continue the funding for them.

Oh, and by the way, did I mention that only 34 of the jobs are actually full time? What a bargain!

More than $400 million in federal stimulus money has come to New Hampshire this year, and more is on the way.

The Office of Legislative Budget Assistant reported last week that $413.6 million made its way to the state under a list of programs that involve education, highways, environmental, health and human services, energy and law enforcement. …

So far, a total of 50 jobs have been created by the funding, 34 of them full time. The OES will be headed by a director whom Gov. John Lynch has not yet appointed. All five OES jobs are described as full-time temporary positions that will go out of existence in September 2011, the end of the federal fiscal year.
