So it's hard to make sure you have his exact examples used in the State of the Union but here are my best guesses:
But you don’t have to take their word for it. Talk to the small business in Phoenix that will triple its workforce because of the Recovery Act.
Phoenix small business looks like it's a non-profit cancer research center called International Genomics Consortium. According to Recovery.org they received $7.8 million and "created/saved" is 2.42. An article from AZ Central says "triple" but that was back in October and then apear to be unsure of how much money they would be getting.
Talk to the window manufacturer in Philadelphia who said he used to be skeptical about the Recovery Act, until he had to add two more work shifts just because of the business it created.
According to Philly.com Accu-Weld saw an increase of 240 percent in window units that are eligible for a tax credit due to energy efficiency. The same article mentions that they are yet to make any new hires but that they did increase the workweek of the 140 employees from 32 hours to 40 hours a week. Since the article was written and Gov. Rendell visited the business they have since been purchased by Haddon Windows because Haddon Windows "saw an opportunity to save Accu-Weld from financial woes and job cuts."
Talk to the single teacher raising two kids who was told by her principal in the last week of school that because of the Recovery Act, she wouldn’t be laid off after all.
I can't find the specific teach but there have been teaching jobs saved. How many? No one can say.
That's my part in fact checking...if I see any other posts, I'll be sure to link to those.
