Special notes: When the direct effect involves a retail sector,
margining must be taken into consideration to account for
the retail markup in the price charged to the end consumer.
Deflators must be applied when the dollar value of the
investment is represented in a different year than the year of
the response coefficient being used.
★
It should be noted that job impact estimates, whether from IMPLAN/I-RIMS, RIMS II, or REMI are headcounts rather than full-time equivalents; that is, they include a mix of full-time, part-time, and seasonal workers.
