That's actually not bad, assuming the average salary is about half that. The cost of an employee is 2x to 3x their base salary once you account for benefits and overhead.

If these were all 20k/yr jobs, I'd worry, but there's no evidence that they are.

This is why there's such a difference between public works in the model of the Public Works Administration (PWA) and public employment in the model of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). And why I was pushing for more of the direct job creation and less of the "shovel-ready." It's all about how you do things - whether your marginal dollar goes into cement or wages, whether you decide to build something with steam shovels vs. 1000 people with hand shovels.

Needless to say, we could have created a lot of jobs faster if we'd gone the WPA route.

It is also unclear that the figure relates to job-years.

If a job is created for two years, then that figure appears twice as large as the actual number you are comparing it to. Thus, the job would pay $92,000 / 2 - overhead and expenses.

Be careful with overly simplistic work with numbers, it's always wrong and misleading.

I'll note that, even after the stimulus, lots of teachers are losing their jobs in my daughter's school district here.

Also, not to get all fussy or, you know, business-management-y here but if you measure what the HR department of the Fortune 500 company I used to work for used to call the "average fully encumbered cost" of a new employee $92,000 isn't that expensive.

Point being that even if you're hiring a cubicle monkey you've still got their salary (maybe as low as $30,000/year for, say, a tech support operator) but you've also got to pay annual costs for the cubicle partitions, desk, phone, computer, plus the incremental cost of training, IT, management, facilities, real estate, healthcare, 401(k) administration, and, of course, HR. Heck, the per-unit cost for purchasing just for an additional cubicle module is between $1000 and $8000 *before* you had it installed and wired up.

And yeah, the stimulus plan isn't for cubicle monkeys, and you'd think the encumbered cost for construction labor would be lower but... a D8 Caterpillar bulldozer for one construction worker can run half a million dollars.

And yeah, everyone else has said this too. But that's a bug in the criticism, not a feature: anyone criticizing average per-employee costs below maybe $100,000/year probably doesn't know very much about business operating expenses...

...and therefore probably isn't competent to comment on whether $92k/year is too much.

Basically, the way the stimulus plan works is that the federal government has a big pot of money, and they give it to the different federal agencies which then give it to the appropriate state agency, which is then responsible for spending it.
