A tacit admission that the concept was phony from the start:

The Obama administration has taken some heat and mockery for using the nebulous and non-economic term of jobs being “saved or created” by the $787 billion stimulus program.
So it’s gotten rid of it.
In a little-noticed December 18, 2009 memo from Office of Management and Budget director Peter Orszag the Obama administration is changing the way stimulus jobs are counted.
The memo, first noted by ProPublica, says that those receiving stimulus funds no longer have to say whether a job has been saved or created.
“Instead, recipients will more easily and objectively report on jobs funded with Recovery Act dollars,” Orszag wrote.
In other words, if the project is being funded with stimulus dollars – even if the person worked at that company or organization before and will work the same place afterwards – that’s a stimulus job.

A while back I noted that the attempt to classify jobs as “created or saved” by the stimulus had created (or saved) nothing but headaches for the guys charged with vetting the numbers — remember all those embarrassing headlines about raises counting as new jobs? Well, under the administration’s new policy, raises will still count as new jobs, but – because it’s all official and out in the open now — there will be fewer “gotcha” stories in the press. At least that’s what Orszag hopes. I mean, talk about a guy who could use fewer “gotcha” stories.
