According to Study: Stimulus plan supports 50,000 Florida jobs

In Florida, 49,000 jobs were created or saved by the federal stimulus plan launched in 2009, but the number of jobs it is supporting has been on the decline, according to a report from the Collins Center for Public Policy.

The nonprofit organization hired Don Winstead – previously the special adviser to former Gov. Charlie Crist tasked with implementing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in Florida – to conduct the study. Current Goernor Rick Scott, an opponent of the stimulus plan, closed the state website that tracked its impact.
