Minnesota stands to gain 66,000 jobs with money from the economic stimulus, with the majority of them going to the districts where Representatives voted against the package.

The state's three Republican districts--represented by Reps. John Kline, Erik Paulsen, and Michele Bachmann--each will get thousands of jobs.

According to numbers from the White House, Bachmann's sixth district stands to gain 9,500 jobs--the most than anywhere else in the state.

Kline represents the state’s second congressional district, which stands to get 8,400 jobs; and Paulsen's third district will get 7,600.

Those numbers are based on factors like working age population, employment, and industrial composition.
