Community Choice Aggregation Feasibility Analysis Alameda County <br />June, 2016 37 MRW & Associates, LLC <br />County Job impact by Stage of Job generation, Scenario 1 <br />Job changes typically start from a direct productive event that alters the need for labor, such as <br />constructing a facility or opening/closing a business. Then there are the local cycles of business- <br />to-business supplier transactions that follow (called indirect jobs), cycles of household spending <br />from the direct and indirect paychecks (called induced jobs), and sometimes there are job changes due to changes in costs (rates) of a location which affect doing-business in the county. These are job impacts from competitiveness effects. The indirect and induced combined are <br />referred to as multiplier effects. The total job impact reflects the direct, the multiplier, and the <br />competitiveness effects. Figure 25 juxtaposes the county’s direct job impacts with the total job <br />impacts from Scenario 1. The majority of job creation in the scenario is from non-direct economic influences - specifically from the net rate savings which drives approximately 76 percent of the county’s job gain (Figure 26). As shown in Appendix E, Scenario 2 would have <br />an identical profile of direct jobs but a slightly lower total job profile, due to almost $60 million <br />of curtailed net rate savings (relative to scenario 1) through 2030. Scenario 3 has a slightly <br />higher direct job profile but a greatly reduced total job impact profile. <br /> <br />Figure 25. CCA Scenario 1 County Job Impacts <br />
