<br /> <br /> <br /> Supplier effects: Jobs will be created in industries that provide equipment, materials, <br />supplies, or services associated with construction or plant oper ations. <br />Respending effects: Jobs will be created in those sectors where workers spend their <br /> <br />paychecks. <br /> <br /> Government employment: Additional employment generates taxes that support jobs <br />in federal, state, and local governments. <br />Considering both direct and indi rect employment, roughly 200,000 to 300,000 jobs will be <br />associated with an oil shale industry producing 3 million barrels per day. Using the same <br />methodology, the total employment impact at 1 million and 2 million barrels per day would <br />be roughly 100,000 to 150,000 and 150,000 to 200,000, respectively. <br />A projection of the number of workers needed for each type of extraction process will be <br />outlined , in a similar manner as for determining water demand for direct use s , These <br />assumptions will be outlined i n a table. For the natural gas and coal industries this data is <br />readily available because of the recent increase in drilling activity and the long lived coal <br />mines in the area. However for the oil shale industry a range of assumptions will be put <br />togethe r. <br />A survey will be made of the resources available and the demographic projections being <br />made by agencies in the region including the CRWCD, Garfield and Rio Blanco County’s <br />Planning Departments. Data will be analyzed alongside those of the State Demogra pher to <br />determine possible worker increases. In addition new data generated by the Rand Report on <br />oil shale will be used for an estimated amount of workers. <br />From this data assumptions for use in the various scenarios will be developed. Data will also <br />inc lude the flowing factors to consider: <br /> Location of the population increases. <br /> Evaluate Energy Information Administration (EIA) projections for natural gas <br />development in the Rocky Mountain Region to understand if natural gas development <br />will increase or decr ease. <br /> Use State Demographer numbers for secondary workers (service) to support the <br />increase in energy related employees. <br /> Daily per capita consumptive demands for inside and outside uses. <br />Task 2.1.2 Deliverable – Table outlining the number of workers needed for each energy <br />extraction process. Demographic data supporting these numbers will be combined into this <br />table, along with additional information gathered during the survey. <br /> - 9 - <br />
