Jobs Calculations Based on Economic Model

Direct jobs were reported to the federal government by agencies receiving ARRA funds per Section 1512.

Indirect and induced jobs were calculated by taking actual ARRA expenditures of Education, Transportation, Medicaid, and Family Safety Net ARRA spending* and using economic models** to calculate reliable estimates of indirect and induced jobs.

Types of Job Creation Supported by the ARRA

Direct jobs are those supported by ARRA dollars.  An example is a road construction worker on a highway project funded by ARRA

Indirect jobs are those that support ARRA funded work, but are not directly paid by ARRA dollars.  An example is an employee at an asphalt company that supplies asphalt for the same highway project.

Induced jobs are created by increased consumer activity.  For example, if the construction worker goes to a restarurant more now that he has a job and the restaurant hires a new employee, that employee is an induced job.

* Education, Transportation, Medicaid, and Family Safety Net were chosen as they represented 95% of all Maryland ARRA expenditures. Indirect and Induced of other ARRA spending are minor.
