Audit: California agencies overstate stimulus jobs
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- A state audit has found that some California agencies inflated the number of jobs created by the federal stimulus program.

In a sampling of five state agencies, the California State Auditor said Tuesday that two overstated the number of jobs by 617 positions.

For example, the Water Resources Control Board did not follow guidelines and triple-counted the number of jobs created with the money. The audit says other agencies failed to review jobs data submitted by recipients.

California reported nearly 58,000 jobs saved or created through the stimulus program through June 30. The five agencies are among 12 programs that account for 97 percent of the jobs reported.
