Definitions
 
Primary Jobs/Industry: A primary industry/job is one that generates additional dollars and revenues from outside of the local economy. For example, goods that are manufactured in one area and sold in another area generate dollars and revenues from those other areas.  
 
Economic/Multiplier Impacts: Multipliers break the effects of a change (or stimuli) on economic activity down into three components.
 
1. Direct effects are the changes in the industries to which a final demand change was made. For example, a firm hires 100 new employees.

2. Indirect effects are the changes in inter-industry purchases as they respond to the new demands of the directly affected industries. For example, an auto firm expands production and hires 100 new workers. This change in production will likely lead to additional impacts on the firm's supply chain.

3. Induced effects typically reflect changes in spending from households as income increases or decreases due to the changes in production.
 
4. Total effects/jobs are the total of direct, indirect and induced effects. 
 
Investment: Investment includes land, buildings and equipment.
