Construction projects paid for by the stimulus use private sector construction companies to preform the work.Where I live (central Illinois)three water treatment plants are being expanded, all the work is being done by private sector construction companies, none of the three projects would have even started without stimulus money. My younger brother is working on one of the treatment plants, the only other job he has had this year (about seven months ago) was when the local power company (AmerenIP, a private sector utilities) upgraded some infrastructure, paid for by the stimulus. Almost all construction projects paid for with tax dollars are done by private sector companies and their employees, not government employees.
