Stimulus creating 261 new jobs in Martin County

by Michael C. Bender | February 23rd, 2010

Fifty-one companies in Martin County will create 261 new jobs using federal stimulus dollars.

Companies, which applied for the money through the Florida Back to Work program, may use the positions to expand or replace workers trimmed during cutbacks.

The jobs, while a boost to a county struggling with double-digit unemployment rates, could be temporary. The federal government will pay the salaries for the new positions for nine months, but after that the companies are on their own.
