U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claims a stimulus package would create 132,350 jobs in North Carolina.

Pelosi and Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Economy.com and former adviser to Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign, released an analysis of the package this afternoon.

Overall, their analysis claims that the stimulus package would create 4 million jobs and lower the unemployment rate by 2.2 percentage points. 

Its state-by-state figures includes projections of 132,350 new jobs in North Carolina and a reduction of the state's unemployment rate by 1.6 percentage points.

That is compared to what the number of jobs and the unemployment rate would be in 2010 without the stimulus package.
