SUMMARY: Misrepresenting an Associated Press report, Sean Hannity falsely suggested that in Oregon, jobs lasting only 35 hours are being counted as jobs created by the federal stimulus package. In fact, the AP reported that these accounting practices are being used by state lawmakers in Oregon to measure jobs created by the state stimulus package and that "Oregon's accounting practices would not be allowed as part of the $787 billion federal stimulus."
