Both of these projects are expected to take less than two years; even so, the indirect and induced jobs can be counted. On January 16, 2009, James W. McCament, Chief of USCIS, wrote a letter to Senator John Cornyn, which contained the following language:
Indirect and induced jobs created as a result of construction jobs whether counted or not may be included in the job count. Even when the construction jobs may not be counted towards the job creation requirement, they do have indirect and induced impacts that are eligible to be included in the final job count because they are "continuous, permanent employment."
The economic argument behind this logic may be summarized as follows.
Consider a tax cut that is temporary (perhaps a rebate). It clearly provides some initial stimulus, but then it is not repeated. Nonetheless, the overall state of the economy has improved; no one argues that real GDP drops back to its previous level once the rebate expires. Instead, the temporary stimulus has boosted overall demand; during the time of the rebate, money was spent, people were hired, and those benefits continued after the rebate period had passed.
In this light, we can also look at a stimulus program (perhaps public works) which would be even more appropriate considering we are analyzing temporary investment. Public funds are expended for various projects over (say) one year, and when the projects are completed, the stimulus is not repeated. However, the economy is clearly better off because that stimulus has in fact created jobs, caused new workers to spend their pay checks, etc., which has a multiplier (or ripple) effect throughout the economy that does not disappear even after the public works funds have been expired. In fact, in the case of public works projects such as highways, railroads, utilities, etc. the argument is also made that the productive capacity of the economy has been increased, so the economy benefits from a supply-side as well as a demand-side stimulus. To the extent that overall capacity has increased, the economy is able to produce more as it gradually returns to a position of full employment.
