Estimates are fairly conservative that a one percent increase in gross domestic product equals a bump to approximately one million jobs in the U.S.

According to the estimates of jobs saved or created by the ARRA of 2009 at different times are as follows: for the fourth quarter 20091.5 million jobs were saved with 2010 at 3.5 million, 2001 at 1.7 million, and 2012 at .3 million.
