As Democrats continue to squabble over the final cost of President Joe Biden's massive spending bill, new research shows the ultimate price tag will play a long-lasting role in US employment numbers.

Slashing the proposed $3.5 trillion package to $1.5 trillion - a figure centrist Sen. Joe Manchin has repeatedly demanded - would result in nearly 2 million fewer jobs per year, according to Economic Policy Institute, a progressive think tank.

EPI visiting economist Adam S. Hersh determined that acquiescing to Manchin's demands would have a significant impact on his home state of West Virginia, in addition to the country as a whole.

West Virginia would see 9,880 fewer jobs under Manchin's proposed $1.5 trillion bill, according to Hersh, which constitutes 1.33% of the state's total employment. Cuts to the spending would mean 900 fewer manufacturing jobs, 400 fewer construction jobs, and 3,800 fewer health care and social assistance jobs, the institute said.
