I'm flipping through the various TV news channels and one was just talking about a $399,939 research grant that was awarded to two researchers (one at UVa and one at U of Michigan) under the federal stimulus program.
The purpose of the study is to answer the question: "If you spend stimulus money on research grants, what will be the net result of spending stimulus money on research grants?"
Estimated new jobs created by this study: 0

I think your estimate is wrong. How many people will be working on this study?

That is what the news outlet had on their graphic. I'll assume the researchers already had jobs with the schools.

Sure,
they already have jobs, but a question this esoteric cannot be resolved without hiring some hot, young co-eds as assistants.

God bless co-ed interns! My last job didn't have them but my current one does. The best looking one was a Towson student in fact. Andy would be proud.
