Employment Impacts Employment impacts identified by the IMPLAN model are presented by economic sector. Each job identified in the IMPLAN model’s output represents the annual average of monthly jobs in a particular industry. Thus, one job lasting 12 months is equal to two jobs lasting six months each, which is equal to three jobs lasting four months each, and so on. A job can be either full-time or part-time. Conversions to full-time employee (FTE) jobs vary by economic sector; conversion factors are available from IMPLAN at http://implan. com/V4/index.php?option=com_multicategories&view=article&id=628:628&Itemid=14. All employment impacts presented in this report have been adjusted to represent full-time employee (FTE) jobs. Table 9 presents the ten largest sector-level employment impacts for the entire Southeast region.
