The attached table lists the number of jobs that could be created in each state under the House Republican substitute to H.R. 1. These estimates are derived from the results of applying Dr. Christina Romer’s economic analysis to the House Republican substitute which shows that the substitute could create 6.2 million jobs over the next two years. Unlike the House-passed bill, H.R. 1, the substitute contains broadly applicable tax cuts for families and business and does not pick and choose favorites among the states or particular industry sectors through various spending programs.
