this week two so-called reporters from associated press, a matt and a brett, did a supposed analysistion. they came to the conclusion that there was no affect on local unemployment and had barely helped the beleaguered construction industry. that's a pretty interesting conclusion when we can document the jobs created, the hours worked, 250,000 direct jobs were created and when you look at the secondary employment impact, you're up to about 3/4 of a million jobs, 8,587 highway and transit projects under construction and it had no affect on local unemployment? what they're saying is, because of the hemorrhaging in other parts of industry and business in america, the unemployment rate's going up, now what if we had just not made the investment in transit and infrastructure and had walked away from those 750,000 jobs? would they have written a story saying that unemployment increased by nearly a million jobs because the federal government failed to invest in transportation infrastructure? this is a totally perverse and bizarre conclusion reached by these two individuals. now, if they wan
