Как Обама спасает рабочие места:
President Barack Obama's economic recovery program saved 935 jobs at the Southwest Georgia Community Action Council, an impressive success story for the stimulus plan. Trouble is, only 508 people work there.
Очевидно, некоторые рабочие места были настолько хилыми, что их пришлось спасать дважды, а то и трижды. Но это не единственный способ спасения. Можно, например, считать за спасение рабочего места прибавку к зарплате:
About two-thirds of the 14,506 jobs claimed to be saved under one federal office, the Administration for Children and Families at Health and Human Services, actually weren't saved at all, according to a review of the latest data by The Associated Press. Instead, that figure includes more than 9,300 existing employees in hundreds of local agencies who received pay raises and benefits and whose jobs weren't saved.
И если вы думаете, что это какая-то случайная ошибка, ну там не в ту графу внесли, клерк ошибся, не ту кнопку нажал, то вот:
But officials defended the practice of counting raises as saved jobs.
"If I give you a raise, it is going to save a portion of your job," HHS spokesman Luis Rosero said.
/.../
Allen said a cost-of-living adjustment "may not be viewed traditionally as a job saved, but one could interpret it that, by providing COLA, you're retaining staff."
Понятно вам? Было приказано отчитаться об успехах соцсоревнования - вот и отчитались. Нетрадиционно. По заветам ЦСУ Госплана.
