State Agencies, Quasi State Agencies, and Public Colleges who are prime recipients are required to report the number of jobs paid with ARRA funds for the reporting quarter expressed as a number of Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs). OERR developed a jobs data collection tool and provided guidance to state agencies on how to collect jobs data from prime recipients, sub-recipients, and vendors in accordance with ARRA. Jobs data is reported by agencies and presented in summary format. The total number of jobs reported by State Agencies, Quasi State Agencies, and Public Colleges from January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013 is 234.97 (initial data set).

The table below lists the number of jobs reported in all of the prior reporting periods. State Agencies, Quasi State Agencies, and Public Colleges report ARRA funded jobs expressed as a number of Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) in each reporting period. Because the methodology uses a calculation to determine the number of FTEs, numbers can not be added across quarters.
Prime award recipient State Agencies, Quasi State Agencies, and Public Colleges reported cumulative expenditures of $688,200,421 through March 31, 2013, an increase of $172.5 million dollars in expenditures since the last reporting cycle.
