What is the “Cost per Regulator” on GDP and Private Sector Job
Our updated analysis again reveals that the
impact of regulation on jobs is also impressive,
as shown in Table 2 below. For a relatively
small budget cut of 5% ($2.8 billion at 2015
levels), our updated analysis reveals that the
increase in private jobs is about 1.5 million
annually (on average). In the final year of the
simulation, there are 1.8 million new jobs due to
the reduced regulation. Our updated analysis
reveals that a 10% reduction in the regulatory
budget ($5.6 billion)—which implies a return to
pre-Obama Administration levels—leads to an
increase of 3 million new jobs annually, and 3.6
million jobs in the fifth year.

EDITOR’S NOTES
1. We do not link To Fox News or Fox Business News.
2. We sometimes link to Fox affiliates.
3. We sometimes link to sites that contain a video that might have a snippet from Fox News.
4. We try to avoid second hand news stories that are sourced from Fox News or Fox Business News.
5. We try to not link to sites with pay walls. This eliminates NYT and WaPo (who cares?) but also eliminates WSJ and Epoch Times. We hope that Epoch Times changes their business model because they are one of the best news outlets in the English language.
6. We believe it is more important than ever for Americans to monitor world affairs. The most influential man in America is probably George Soros and he is not in America–nor is he an American. Other understated influences on America include World Economic Forum, BBC, and CBC, to name but a few.
7. Most English language newspapers in non-English speaking countries are paid subscription sites. This presents an ongoing challenge to report on world affairs.
8. We try to avoid linking to mainstream media when possible We are not hesitant to link to mainstream sources if the news story involves raw data, such as the daily stock market or weather statistics or sports scores. Even then, we usually provide a “Mainstream” disclaimer.
