Either you're taking CJ's word as gospel, or the two of you are drawing this figure from some left-wing blog.

No, from Forbes:

Uh, job creation is usually one of the top reasons given for building the darn thing. To the point where the figures get cooked. For example, hundreds of jobs to build the pipe are often cited. But the pipe has already been built, it just hasn't been installed.
