There are those who believe that the Obama Stimulus Package may just not do what it is intended to do as far as providing new jobs. In fact, some of those against the package believe that there will be more people joining the ranks of the unemployed.

One reason that more people may chose to leave their jobs is that Congress is allowing and addition $36 billion in unemployment insurance. This may entice some to either quit their current positions or stay of the job market so as to continue receiving funds. In either case, new jobs won't be created.

Another problem with the idea that there may be increased jobs is that the jobs increased will serve to simply have one person moving to a new or different position. This does not create jobs, it merely exchanges them.

The one field that may well see a boost in its employment ranks is the alternative energy area. There are a great deal of incentives for people to 'green' their homes and for businesses to do the same. Unfortunately, many of these people will be, once again, simply changing jobs. And while some people move to a new jobs, who will fill their old position?

That becomes one of the puzzle pieces that hasn't yet been put together. As companies fear the ramifications of the stimulus plan, they are changing their own business strategies. Because no one is certain of how the different new rules and regulations will affect them, companies may not be prone to fill positions as they appear.

In any case, what is clear, is that the government is trying to help those in need. It is the scenario of six of one and a half dozen of another. Some say that neither method will work. However, something is better than nothing. Maybe this time, the government has it figured out.
