other academics have taken issue with the large magnitude of the local multiplier effect claimed by moretti. one study reanalyzes the claim of enrico moretti that five non-tradable jobs are created for each highly skilled tradable job. using a modified version of moretti's method it found that the true multiplier effect was only 1.02 non-tradable jobs created. furthermore the study finds that there is no difference on the local multiplier effect between whether the tradable job is skilled or unskilled.
