OK, even accepting that there will only be 15 people fully employed in maintenance,inspection, and upkeep on the pipeline itself*; why are not the jobs at the shipping point, and at the refineries counted? I mean, seriously, there won't be increased employment at the production end?
One positive aspect, these are shovel ready jobs that aren't paid for by the government ;) (the 15K-45K, (depending on whose analysis you accept) temporary jobs)
*Honestly, I know people who do inspection and maintenance on water, and natural gas pipe lines here in So Cal, and they have way more OFFICE personnel then that; but then we have some pretty powerful unions out here. :D
