The $800 billion economic stimulus package signed into law early last year “has had a slightly bigger effect on the U.S. economy than was projected when it was passed more than a year ago,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Through the first quarter of 2010, the stimulus boosted employment by an estimated 1.3 million to 2.8 million jobs, about a quarter or half million more than projected. Gross domestic product was 1.7 to 4.1 percentage points higher than it would have been without the stimulus.”
