ABSTRACT
This article suggests that New Jersey's economy will benefit from the federal stimulus bill in 2009. As stated, $1 billion infrastructure budget will be allocated to the state under the stimulus package. A total of $789 billion in tax cuts and spending are said to be included in the package. The state's economic slump led to several job losses in the private sector in 2008.
