Calculating stimulus jobs creates confusion, state official says
Federal agencies have given Wyoming conflicting instructions on how to calculate how many jobs have been created by the stimulus program, according to Lynne Boomgaarden, director of Wyoming's Office of State Lands and Investments. Boomgaarden said state and local stimulus spending so far has created or saved the equivalent of 466 jobs. However, her office reported a figure of 515 jobs last month, but the number declined after a review by federal officials. Google/The Associated Press (11/03)
