State and Local Stimulus

The results are in and the Southerntier of New York was able to use Federal Stimulus monies to create or retain 3.5 jobs. (Press Article 1)

Please help me out with this one, what is a retained job? And how is this measured?

Now, I wonder what the net numer of jobs created or retained is when taking a long look at this. (Press Article 2)

In Michigan i've watched a couple different crews milking couple unneeded road jobs and generally jam up traffic. Sad thing is that most of the Michigan rad contracts went to companies from Ohio and Indiana. Gatta love it
