That's why we laughed in Nebraska when the rest of the country was screaming about how we were forcing Keystone to change the route away from the Ogallala aquifer and delaying approval--the tea party kept ranting "the jobs, the jobs!!" What jobs? Anyone who's known any real facts about this project from the beginning knew that this was not a job maker...

So am I. The construction industry is temporary.. whether it is housing, infrastructure or pipeline. This isn't news to anybody. It however still doesn't mean that a lot of good folks work in the construction industry and have for years.
Non-sense already in my area the new crude has meant 500 jobs at just one refinery plus the five years of construction jobs. One job that was 10 billion in cost. Right now its being feed by rail and that adds like 14 dollars per barrel to cost which of course is passed on to consumers. One only has to remember that every president since carter has promised we would never be reliant on foreign oil like we were during the embargo yet no energy policy and its has increased under every president. Now with no energy policy private enterprise has made that a reality. Its also promises to make our energy cost the envy of much of the world in cost to manufacture. Just not shipping billions every year overseas in payments means huge increase in money not being sent to unstable parts of the world and of course it changes everything has to foreign policy options. I think perhaps the Op has it mixed up with the number of permanent jobs that 800 billion in taxpayers money in the stimulus this administration spent and we will be paying for some decades to come with interest.
I think when it says 35 new jobs it means 35 new job titles. And among those positions there'll be thousands of jobs each.
Sorta like: A Truck Driver is a job title. But there are tens of thousands of truck driving jobs.
