Washington,DC,USA -The Journal of Commerce, by John D. Boyd -Sep 2, 2009: -- Federal stimulus funds to states for such needs as highway, bridge and transit repairs were supporting at least 76,000 direct jobs as of July 31, says the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee... The panel said that’s how many on-project jobs were either saved or created from $35.5 billion in infrastructure projects announced by that time for programs under its jurisdiction... That amounted to 10,542 projects at that point in the summer, of which 6,831 were for highways and transit systems... (Photo from msnbc.msn) Labels: governments stimulus funds
