2. Earnings Impacts Table I-6-4 presents the earnings impacts organized in the same way as those in Table I-6-3. The conclusions expressed for output hold also for the earnings impacts. In Colorado and California the positive impacts outweigh the negative impacts; therefore for California the earnings impacts are a positive $44.10 million and for Colorado a positive $14.77 million. In the remaining States, the impacts are predominately negative. The net earnings impacts for the Basin are a positive $49.70 million. Incremental earnings impacts in the other crops sector range from a positive $23.00 million in California to a negative $0.54 million in Colorado. 3. Regional Government Revenue Impacts Table I-6-5 reports the incremental impacts of the proposed critical habitat designation on government revenues from personal income taxes and indirect business taxes. California's revenues have a positive total impact of $18.10 million. The impact for Utah is a negative $9.601 million. The Basin impact is a positive $16.16 million. 4. State- and Regional-Level Employment Impacts Table I-6-6 presents State- and regional-level incremental impacts on employment over the period of the study. The values in the table represent the deviation in employment, measured as jobs, between the without fish and with fish scenarios. As discussed above, employment impacts aze both positive and negative both across States and over time. For New Mexico, the employment impact is approximately 2 jobs foregone in 1995 and this figure rises to 126 jobs foregone by the year 2020. On the other hand, for California there is a gain of approximately 21 jobs in 1995 and this positive impact increases to a projected 1,232 jobs by 2020. For the Basin as a whole the employment impacts aze positive through the study period. In 1995 the projected gain is approximately 29 jobs. By 2020 the gains in employment aze projected to be approximately 878 jobs. I-34
