Worse, half of the companies awarded deals created no jobs at all, and just 15% of companies met or exceeded their job projections...
Here are just a few of the 41 job announcements and results covered in the study:
A 2007 deal with a Detroit pharmaceutical company promised to create 600 jobs. Instead, the company added zero new jobs and closed its facility by 2014.
