JOBMOD2.1: A Comprehensive Model for Estimation Employment Generation from Federal-Aid Highway Projects. Technical Documentation

摘要

JOBMOD2 is a model that makes quantitative estimates of the total employment income and jobs supported by federally funded highway improvement projects. This includes not only the direct employment of construction workers, but also all those workers who are required to produce inputs to the construction project. It also goes a step further by estimating the number of jobs that are supported by the growth in consumer expenditure that arises due to all the employment income from those jobs supported by the project. Thus, it provides a very broad definition of the total employment impact of expenditures on highway improvements.
