The bad news: Most of the jobs are in China

Two video reports describe what is happening. There are companion articles to the videos that fill in more details of the story. The video and text articles aren?t the same so to get the complete picture check both of them out.

Nearly $2 billion USD from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has been spent on wind power, funding the creation of enough new wind farms to power 2.4 million homes over the past year.  But the study found that nearly 80 percent of that money has gone to foreign manufacturers of wind turbines.

So Where Are the Jobs?"Most of the jobs are going overseas," said Russ Choma at the Investigative Reporting Workshop. He analyzed which foreign firms had accepted the most stimulus money. "According to our estimates, about 6,000 jobs have been created overseas, and maybe a couple hundred have been created in the U.S." New Wind Farms in the U.S. Do Not Bring Jobs, ABC News Reports, Jonathan Karl, Feb. 9, 2010    READ FULL STORY

Politics has become a hot bed for applied statistics.  Polls are done daily and we are bombarded with results nightly.  Most polls today are tailored to address issues like health care, economy, and national security.  Statistics also play an important role in projecting winners in elections. 

 

What started out as a technical discussion, one IT system vs another, it turned into something that caught our eye:  An interesting numerical excavation.   We leave it to you to determine the political value.

Here's our question going into this:   From a mostly IT perspective, is the current RECOVERY.GOV site/data reliable and consistent?
