Second Round of Recovery Act Recipient Reports Released Saturday

As a reminder, tomorrow the Recovery Board will release the next batch of recipient reports on Recovery.gov [1]. The new reports will be released along with a limited overhaul of the site [2], which will feature a new search option, a "diversity map," and a job search function. We'll be reviewing these new features, and the new reports, on Monday.

Also, this release will be the first under the new job counting rules [3], which eliminate the awkward "created or saved" dichotomy from last cycle.

And, as always, remember that over two-thirds of Recovery Act spending will not be included in this release, a point helpfully highlighted by a recent Center on Budget and Policy Priorities report [4]. So while it's great that we're getting another batch of recipient reports, we still don't have comparable transparency for a vast majority of the Act's funding.
