Svetlana, they only spent 40bln or so, they allocated 800bln.
However the real reason unemployment rate dropped is inside the report:
***********.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf
The civilian labor force participation rate declined by 0.2 percentage point in July to 65.5 percent.
Among the marginally attached, there were 796,000 discouraged workers in July, up by 335,000 over
the past 12 months. (The data are not seasonally adjusted.) Discouraged workers are persons not currently
looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them. The other 1.5 million persons
marginally attached to the labor force in July had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding
the survey for reasons such as school attendance or family responsibilities.
So, basically a bunch of people just gave up looking for work.
