NASA commissions report to show its economic impact: $64B and 312K jobs
“Support” is translated broadly, though not necessarily overly so– it’s a standard model going back to the ’70s, a NASA representative discussed. On page 138 of the appendix (page 493 general), we find that NASA supports 66 jobs in the sheet metal manufacturing world, worth about $4 million in labor, including almost $6 million in worth itself, and producing an overall favorable economic effect of about $14 million. How does NASA support small arms manufacturing and produce a $4 million economic effect, or support the tortilla market to a comparable degree?
“Support” is interpreted broadly, though not necessarily extremely so– it’s a standard model going back to the ’70s, a NASA agent discussed. Essentially, NASA’s direct payroll and procurement budget plans are one thing, but they might lead to increased demand for items and services in general, and increased costs by business, customers and regional governments. On page 138 of the appendix (page 493 overall), we find that NASA supports 66 jobs in the sheet metal production world, worth about $4 million in labor, adding nearly $6 million in worth itself, and producing a total favorable economic impact of about $14 million. How does NASA support small arms manufacturing and produce a $4 million financial effect, or support the tortilla industry to a similar degree?
