State government's first report for the economic stimulus package says the federal program has created or saved the equivalent of 1,407 full-time jobs so far in South Dakota.

Many of them went to construction workers, teachers and young people seeking summer jobs.

State budget director Jason Dilges says additional jobs will be created as more federal money is received for a variety of state programs. Reports will be filed every three months.

He planned to discuss the stimulus spending Monday with the Legislature's Interim Appropriations Committee.

The report says 332 jobs were created in a program that retrained adult workers and gave young people summer job experience.

South Dakota has spent about $220 million of the $632 million allocated to state government. State agencies get stimulus money during the three years the program will operate.
