The multiplier used for contract services is that of Support Activities for Other Mining -Industry <br /># 21311A. Of the multipliers produced for the region, this category best matched the activities <br />of CC&V. Multipliers have not been produced by the State specifically for exploration drilling <br />operations. The multipliers measure the number of jobs and earnings generated for every <br />$1,000,000 in contract services expenditures. The multipliers were adjusted based on the fact <br />that many drilling workers only reside in the county part time, and remit some of their earnings <br />to other localities. The induced portion of the multipliers were reduced by 50% to reflect the <br />greater than normal leakage of earnings out of the region. <br />In 2007, almost $6.2 million will be spent for contract drilling services in Teller County by a va- <br />riety of firms. As a result of these expenditures, 85 jobs and approximately $3.2 million in earn- <br />ings are supported in Teller County. In the region, 133 jobs are supported, and in the state, 158 <br />jobs are supported. This effect is in addition to the jobs and earnings supported as a result of the <br />labor expenditures shown in Tables 6 and 9. The employment and earnings effects of these ex- <br />penditures are shown in Table 10 below. <br />• <br />• <br />19 <br />
