By way of comparison, putting up a rudimentary website entails similar costs...

But in addition to the nearly 7 million jobs lost, the national economy has failed to add the 127,000 jobs per month needed to keep up with population growth. "The real employment hole is 9.1 million jobs," says Shierholz. "The stimulus bill is great, but it will only generate 3 to 4 million jobs.
