Many School Jobs Were Saved by the Stimulus Package

New data shows that education is the sector where the most jobs were saved from elimination due to the federal economic stimulus package. In fact, over 50% of all saved jobs were in education.

This resonates with me because I know of several teachers whose positions were saved from budget cuts at the last minute due to new access to funding.  Of course, the education system is still strapped for cash and many problems remain.  But isn't it good to know that education was somehow prioritized by the federal government's stimulus spending?
