Correction: This story initially reported that this segment of the jobs program would spend $3.7 million in federal funding when, in fact, $1.4 million will be provided by the federal government and $2.3 million by private partners working with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, for a total of $3.7 million in competitive grants.
(CNSNews.com) – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced $1.4 million in spending as part of President Obama’s Summer Jobs+ program, saying the money will go to hire 500 young people, "particularly urban and minority youth," to work on government projects over the coming summer.
