EMA Releases Report on Mailing Industry Jobs
The EMA Foundation has just released an updated version of the report (available upon request). Essentially, it indicates that the mailing industry generated $1.139 trillion in economic activity in 2009, and that the total number of related jobs was 8,661,394. Stated differently, the mailing industry represents over 7 percent of the nation’s GDP and 6 percent of the nation’s jobs. Additionally, the attached report contains important and useful charts that breakdown jobs and economic activity by state and Congressional district.
MFSA’s President and CEO Ken Garner said, “Of course, we are talking about the complete supply chain related to the mailing industry, not just what MFSA member companies are responsible for. But, indeedm we are a formidable industry nonetheless. All MFSA members (and staff) should be familiar with these statistics as they illustrate the size and importance (of the industry) to both local and national economies.”
