new government jobs/ -of course, if the government is involved there's going to be an increase in government. Who will be first? Well as the below few paragraphs, from day 1 it will be lawyers, accountants, and other government toads. It will be a long time before we see actual government numbers, because the government will probably fudge them to make the ratio of new private jobs to new governemnt jobs look good.

here's part of an article from the very beginning of the stimulus plan:

""By David M. Herszenhorn

updated 5:10 a.m. CT, Fri., Feb. 20, 2009
WASHINGTON - The first hiring spree to result from the $787 billion stimulus plan might not involve construction workers or teachers but government auditors, investigators and lawyers who will try to track all of the taxpayer money being spent on economic recovery.

With the White House and Democratic leaders in Congress under pressure to show that the stimulus money will be put to good use, the bill President Obama signed this week directs more than $350 million to oversight, virtually guaranteeing boom times in the field of government accountability. ""
