in discussing local multipliers, regional economists focus on differences in job creation in the tradable and non-tradable sectors of the economy. whenever a new job is created, there is a chance that additional jobs may also be created via increased demand for local goods and services. some economists argue that jobs in the tradable sector have a much higher local multiplier effect. this is due to the tradable sector market existing beyond the borders of a local region. this larger market allows the tradable sector to generate more revenue, have higher salaries, and increase in size independent of the local economic climate.
