Carly Fiorina's campaign called foul on Sen. Barbara Boxer's claims this week of the benefits the federal stimulus has brought to the Doyle Drive reconstruction. Fiorina's team highlighted how Boxer called the project, which was awarded more than $122 million in stimulus funds, "an example of how we're putting people back to work." But then Team Fiorina pointed to data from Recovery.gov, the website tracking stimulus dollars and projects, which showed the project has created just 0.19 jobs.

Recovery.gov states that the Doyle Drive project has created 0.19 jobs. But that statistic is based on information reported in March, and the project is listed as "not started." Construction, which is now under way, would not have begun without stimulus funding in the first place. But to be fair, even the White House's Council of Economic Advisers admits that it is exceedingly difficult to track stimulus-sponsored job creation. Recovery.gov does not publish a running total number of jobs created or saved by the stimulus. But it will be interesting to see if the 0.19 changes when second-quarter data is released July 30.
