The Obama administration released figures last month on the number of jobs created by the federal stimulus package, readjusting an earlier count which overstated the number of jobs created or saved by thousands. One project in the county listed at Recovery.org was for resurfacing on Pleasant Road in Pleasant Township with Pennsylvania Department of Transportation as the project owner. PennDOT District 1-0 Public Information Officer Deborah L. Casadei said contractors are required to report jobs created or sustained with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funded contracts. Those numbers, Casadei said, are reported to the federal government. For June of this year, Casadei said the project had 41 employees work 1,697 hours for a total payroll of $43,511. In July, Casadei said the project had 48 employees work 2,340 hours for $55,944.
