Hound, -Your above question on numbers got me interested so I decided to volunteer (i.e., unpaid/free) to be your reseach assistance as you watch Morning Joe. Apparantly there are alot of people estimating, but few real numbers as yet. But below is a piece I found that comments on a White House early estimate of 600,000 government jobs.
""By Jeff Poor Business & Media Institute 1/7/2009 4:11:06 PM
‘Creating or Saving 3 Million Jobs’ ... on Jan. 7, at a press conference naming Nancy Killefer the Treasury Department’s first “chief performance officer,” a position created to track government spending, he (Obama) told reporters the stimulus, or “economic recovery and reinvestment plan,” would require “dramatic investments to revive our flagging economy – save or create 3 million new jobs, mostly in the private sector.”
....“Obama’s team is pitching a plan that will cost between $675 billion and $775 billion, one that creates three million jobs, 80 percent of them in the private sector,” Tapper (a reporter) said. “But they will face skeptics.”
....Tapper illustrated this same point on his ABCNews.com blog and included Republican Senate Minority Leader McConnell's comments: “Well, do we really want to create 20 percent of the jobs in the public sector?” McConnell said. “That would be 600,000 new government jobs. That’s about the size of the post office workforce.”
