YOu're absolutely right. It's NOT the Gross jobs created at the specific companies he invested in that should be examined. What's meaningful as far as the economy goes is the NET Jobs created. It's fine if he invested in companies that had better more efficient ways of doing something but the net jobs created in the economy is the only meaningful number here.
