  • All projected jobs must be filled within two (2) years of funding (projections must be realistic and attainable)
  • All new jobs must provide an income of at least minimum wage
  • The jobs must be permanent and directly related to the project
  • The jobs must be computed on a "full-time equivalent basis". Part-time jobs should be converted to full-time equivalents by summing the total hours worked per week for the part-time employee and dividing by the standard hourly work week for full-time employees, normally 35 to 40 hours.
