Weatherization Costs $588,235.30 Per Job By: Greg Pollowitz Planet Gore You can read the whole post, but here are the crunched numbers. Hot Air: <<< Instead of creating 85,000 jobs with the $5 billion, the Department of Energy (which runs the program) claimed it created 8500 jobs, a tenth of the goal. That would put the cost of each job at a whopping $588,235.30, and that’s only if the DoE has its numbers right. Those numbers appear to have been calculated using the White House “saved or created” algorithm, which wasn’t exactly known for its accuracy. In any case, those jobs would likely be temporary anyway, which means we just tossed away $5 billion on temp work that mostly didn’t occur, and when it did, got done poorly. >>> .
