New Hampshire has been awarded over $1.1 million in stimulus funds for every full-time job funded under the three-year old federal spending program, according to state and federal reports. The influx of federal cash also led to the creation of 56 full-time and 26 part-time positions within New Hampshire government.
According to the federal stimulus reporting website, Recovery.org, New Hampshire has been awarded more than $985.7 million under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), of which $766.5 million had been received as of December 31, 2011.
