1. A jobs multiplier indicates how important an industry is in regional job creation. A jobs multiplier of 3, for example, would mean that for every job created by that industry, 2 other jobs would be created in other industries. 2. Earnings Multiplier suggests total earnings created in a region as a result of a single dollar of new earnings. 3. Sales multipliers show how “deeply-rooted” an industry is in your region—for example, a highly-developed cluster will have a high sales multiplier because every dollar fed into the cluster from the outside has a high ripple effect, propagating through the regional economy for some time before it leaks out. One dollar of sales coming into a highly-developed Automotive Manufacturing cluster, for example, might have a ripple effect of 2.8 (that dollar led to a total of $2.80 in regional sales).
