HC Deb 05 December 1977 vol 940 cc610-2W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is his estimate of the job multiplier for each 1,000 jobs created in manufacturing.

Mr. Denzil Davies

I have been asked to reply.

The effects of increased employment in manufacturing upon employment in other sectors of the economy will vary with the circumstances bringing about the initial increase in employment and in all cases will take some time to work through the system. Hence no single estimate is possible.
