100 Days: Keystone Pipeline Will Create 48,000 Jobs, Says Trump
The United State of American President, Donald Trump has promised people of Pennsylvania that Keystone pipeline will create 48, 000 jobs.
Trump make this know during rally to celebrate his 100 days in office.
He said the pipeline he signed an executive order clearing the way for its construction — means 48,000 new jobs.
But when he signed the order, he touted a different number.
“If we can get that pipeline built. A lot of jobs; 28,000 jobs. Great construction jobs,” he said in January.
So, which is it? A State Department report on the pipeline that was issued under the Obama administration found that there would be 3,900 direct construction jobs if it was built over one year, or 1,950 if the work was spread over two years. The State Department report estimates that there would be a total of 42,000 indirect jobs created (for companies that sell products and services used to build the pipeline).
