State-By-State Stimulus Job Creation Estimates
(iStockphoto)
The big winner appears to be California, which the White House says will see a “jobs impact” of 396,000. (The state sure could use the help.) Texas (with 269,000 jobs predicted), New York (with 215,000 jobs predicted) and Florida (with 206,000 jobs predicted) also fare well.
Less populous states see far less impact: Alaska, North Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming are each only predicted to see a “jobs impact” of 8,000. To see how your state fares in the estimates, click here. (PDF)
The White House also broke down the jobs numbers by Congressional district. In addition, it put out fact sheets on the bill’s impact on education, energy, health care and infrustructure, as well as its overview of the bill and estimates of its impact on working families. (All docs PDF.)

See all 62 CommentsThe economy of Texas is one of the largest growing economies in the United States.
In 2006 Texas was home to six of the top 50 companies on the Fortune 500 list and 56 overall, more than any other state.
Texas has an economy that was the second largest in the nation and the 7th largest in the world based on GDP (PPP) figures.
As the largest exporter of goods in the United States, Texas currently grosses more than $100 billion a year in trade with other nations.
In 2006, Texas had a gross state product of $1.09 trillion,[2] the second highest in the U.S.[3] Gross state product per capita as of 2005 was $42,975.
Texas had the second largest workforce in the United States[4] with almost 11 million civilian workers. The lack of personal income tax as well as the largely undervalued real estate throughout Texas has led to large growth in population. Since the 2003 legislature the Governor's office has made economic development a top priority.
So with good fiscal responsibility & state & local governance, Texas does better at using its resources.
Just google Texas Economy & see for yourself.
How come Texas gets 2.8 billion? It isn''''t the largest State and certainly not the most populas.
Whereas poor Nebraska (has been in a continuous depression since 1929)
doesn''''t get enough to pay for hauling trash off of I80.
State roads in Nebraska are still gravel and most of the bridges collapsed after farmers sold off their mules and bought tractors.
It is a piteous place with 20% of the children starving, and 95% of the wealth owned by 2% of the population. Have mercy!
Seriously lindh4, you should check your facts before dragging others in by talking trash about their state in a national forum. According to the 2000 Census Texas was the 2nd most populous state. Second only to California. We are also the second largest state in size. Second only to Alaska. While I sympathize with the plight of the folks living there it is rediculous to suggest that the amount of money allocated to the state is off. The population size alone should dictate that proportion. O btw Nebraska is 38th being about a 12th of the population of Texas.

Wow, right up there with the billion dollar no-bid contracts in Iraq, isn''t it?
is up to 787 BILLION dollars. Payment in kind, a little
quid pro quo, don''''t ya know. There''''s money in there for
the doctors who gave to Obama. There''''s cash for the
pharmaceutical and hospital industries that gave to Obama.
There''''s money for the teachers who gave to Obama. There''''s
payolla for the auto and construction unions, who backed
Obama. There''''s money for Oprah, Alec Baldwin, Rosie
O''''Donnell, Spike Lee, P Diddy, Snoop Dogg and all those
actors, producers and rappers who backed Obama. There''''s
money for WallStreet, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates.
There''''s money for the college professors who backed
Obama. He ain''''t been in office a month, and they''''re
already cashing in the IOUs.
The "Stimulus Package" works out to a thirteen hundred
dollar return on each and every dollar invested in Obama''''s
campaign, the best return on investment in business history.
The Obama Presidential Campaign Contribution Payback Fund
is as good as winning the lottery, 600 million times over,
unless you''''re a tax payer.

Wow - It''s not just for Iraqis anymore...
Our elected government can pay for improved US aid by not handing out low or no return bad investment foreign aid.
Keep our US tax dollars here to invest for a 21st century, first world quality of life improvement for each and every US citizen.
Stop the dysfunctional global gravy train of narrowed gauged overly generous US tax funded cash handouts to every bottomless pit cause in every place but the US homeland.
If US citizens, as private individuals have enough spare cash and inclination to donate their money to so called good causes of their choice so be it.
No problems with voluntary personal donations to cause of your choice.
Stop insane politically fueled hemorrhage of our hard earned, paid by mandated US law, US tax money flowing from our national arteries into ailing countries and causes round the world.
Fix America first with American tax dollars.
Objective use of tax cash for tangible US only homeland improvements.
We pay more than our fair share into United Nations coffers so they can distribute to global causes based on international assessments and priorities as voted by UN committees.
Anything beyond UN contribution must be treated as a gross misappropriation of US tax dollars by elected government officers into subjective dubious or disputed causes.
Self inflicted drain of our resources must end!
US must rescue US from decline, no one else will.
More Repugs from both Houses of Congress.
Keep watching & listening to Leader Limplog, so your "thought" processes can get even More Bizarre.
heard / read lately. I''ll be Forwarding details of your proposal to not-so-few email contacts. Keep on thinkin'' !Deletedid, u need to get back on your meds.
The CEO usually gets kudos for making this type of "tough decision", and his board of directors gives him a big bonus.
Our government should not be immune from similar risks.
Reduce the House of Representatives from the current 435 members to 218 members.
Reduce Senate members from 100 to 50 (one per State). Then, reduce their staff by 25%.
$44,108,400 for elimination of base pay for congress. (267 members X $165,200 pay/member/ yr.)
$97,175,000 for elimination of their staff. (estimate $1.3 Million in staff per each member of the House, and $3 Million in staff per each member of the Senate every year)
$240,294 for the reduction in remaining staff by 25%.
$7,500,000,000 reduction in pork barrel ear-marks each year. (members whose jobs are gone. Current estimates for total government pork earmarks are at $15 Billion/yr).
The remaining representatives would need to work smarter and improve efficiencies. It might even be in their best interests to work together for the good of our country!
We may also expect that smaller committees might lead to a more efficient resolution of issues as well. It might even be easier to keep track of what your representative is doing
