Bill de Blasio's $300m scheme to create 100,000 jobs in a decade has put just 3,000 into work

[livingston]

De Blasio pledged to create 100,000 jobs paying at least $50,000 by 2027

• So far only 3,000 positions filled since June 2015, a top city official admitted

• President of city's Economic Development Corporation claims $300m has 'laid groundwork' for future job opportunities

• A New York City jobs program launched by mayor Bill de Blasio has cost $300million and put 3,000 people in employment, it has been revealed.
  
  De Blasio pledged to create 100,000 jobs paying at least $50,000 through his $1.35bn 'New York Works' scheme when it launched in June 2017.
  
  The program promised to meet the 100,000 target by 2027, meaning around 10,000 jobs would be generated each year.
  
  But the scheme is falling well short of initial predictions, with just 3,000 positions filled in nearly two years.

Wow... Only 3,000 jobs in almost 4 years..

I can only hope it'll have a compounding effect by 2027, but like most other left policies, I doubt it'll ever come to fruition.

Democrats do not know how to create jobs, they just create stupid programs that literally burn cash with absolutely horrible results

Wow. Giving Cuomo's Start Up NY a run for its money. Imagine how many jobs Trump will create in 4 years. Communism vs. capitalism.

Wow it’s almost as if govt is really horrible at generating economic factors such as jobs. They seem to be doing a good job spending (wasting) your money though
