DOT: road job loss would have been worse without ARRA DOT: road job loss would have been worse without ARRA Quote: DOT data shows there were more than 60,000 full-time jobs for people working in ARRA projects in July. (Associated Press/Jim Prisching) WASHINGTON — The number of persons employed in highway, street and bridge construction has been in a literal free-fall in 2009, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But that number would have been much worse were it not for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), a spokesperson for the Department of Transportation said Friday. BLS data released Friday shows that 37,200 fewer persons were working in highway, street and bridge construction in August 2009 compared with August 2008. There were 334,000 such jobs in August 2009, the BLS said, noting that the figure was preliminary. more here>> DOT: road job loss would have been worse without ARRA __________________ Click here to learn how to sponsor us

Quote: DOT data shows there were more than 60,000 full-time jobs for people working in ARRA projects in July. Funny how Government agencies look at jobs. By their liberal use of the language. I assume a person who picks ONLY strawberries for a living, has a full time job. When did seasonal work translate to "full time" ??? __________________ Insuring polititions fear that which goes bump in the night.

Imagine how many jobs there would be in road work if the government would stop stealing all the funds for other ####. __________________ The best way to rob a bank is to own one.
