Check out this week's SAP webinar where folks will be discussing the economic stimulus package and what it means for different sectors.
Here are the questions I'd like answered:
- The stimulus is touted as an engine for creating jobs. Yet, the cost per job created seems quite high (e.g., $160,000 per job in renewable and clean energy [page 05]). Is this the best way that the U.S. government could spend money in order to create jobs?
- Why are there no job creation estimates offered for the energy and water sectors (page 06)? At $160,000 per job, there could be over 300,000 jobs created. Is this number feasible in this sector? Why or why not?
- What are the job creation implications of Waxman-Markey (page 15). Will it create or cost jobs?
