Georgia Industries

Why may Georgia’s leading export sector differ from its largest employer?

• Every exported item creates the same jobs
• Only public agencies export goods
• Exports and employment measure different things
• Employment totals measure export prices

What can a total economic-impact estimate include beyond the activity studied directly?

• Only state income-tax receipts
• Only the original company’s sales
• Only the number of registered firms
• Effects on suppliers and related spending

A company announces a new Georgia factory. What does the announcement alone establish?

• Current full-scale production
• A planned project
• Verified annual factory output
• All promised jobs already filled
