My mother is a hiring clerk at a school district in one of more depressed areas of the country. They just recieved 54 million dollars in stimulus with the provision that the money ONLY be spent to hire new workers and only for the minimuim required hours to count as a full time employee. If you are a current employee working less than full time that money can not be used to bring you to full time status.
All the money is to be spent this year. There is no money coming to retain those new hires past one year.
You can make your own assumptions here about the goverment and its reason for stimulus money…
Personally it makes me made… but for those who are working that one year I am sure it is a god-send.
