• The in-migration of employees and the occupational shifts occurring create <br />indirect employment which is calibrated in the following sections. <br />3. Indirect Employment <br />Indirect employment refers to the traditional goods and service industries <br />which support the driving (direct) sectors of the econc®y; e. g., barber <br />shops, restaurants, food stores, qas stntione, etc. As the population <br />increases due to increasing direct employment, employment in these other <br />sectors must also increase. As mentioned in Chapter II, a multiplier of <br />1.5 will be used in this analysis. <br />Table III-5 indicates the indirect employment associated with the current <br />level of WSCC employees and the additional 31 employees anticipated. As <br />noted in the table, of the 319 current employees 160 did not move when <br />accepting employment and 32 already lived in the region. Therefore, the <br />population of the area did not increase due to these 192 employees and no <br />additional indirect workers were required. However, 127 of the current <br />employees did in-migrate to the impact area. The increase in population <br />caused by these additional direct employees does require additional <br />service-related (indirect) employment. Using the 1.5 ratio of indirect to <br />direct workers, an additional 191 jobs were created and filled (most <br />likely by additional in-migrants). <br />Table III-5: Areawide Employment Impacts of WSCC <br />Workforce Characteristics Direct Employment Indirect Employment Total <br /> Current Workforce <br /> Did not Move 160 -- 160 <br /> Shifts Within Area 32 -- 32 <br /> In-Migrants 127 191 318 <br /> Sub-Total 319 191 510 <br /> Future Workforce <br /> In-Migrants 31 47 78 <br /> TOTAL 350 238 Ss8 <br /> <br />• Source: JS&A Survey. <br />41 <br />
