2. “Primary” or “Base” Jobs!
EDAWN’s Mission
“Primary” or “Base” Jobs!
The Attraction, Retention / Expansion or Start-Up Creation of New Primary Jobs
Majority Of Customers Outside The Region
External Customers Add Wealth To Region
Tax Dollars & Wages Of Employees
Investments Of Building / Equipment
Generates Additional Jobs + Multiplier Effect
Quality Jobs ($20.00 Per Hr + Benefits)
90% + Of Jobs Filled By Existing Residents
-When I say, Quality Jobs I really mean, "Primary" Jobs.
-With the limited resources we have, EDAWN Focuses on Primary jobs as they really do fuel our economy.
-A primary employer is one where the majority of their customers live outside the region. This inflow of wealth generates economic activity for the entire community.
-Primary jobs also add additional secondary jobs like retail and suppliers.
- It's important to note that we do not generally bring people into the community but rather quality jobs and that 93% of the jobs announced are filled by people already in the community. 2

You may also have noticed on the past few slides - many companies are bringing their corporate headquarters to the region.

In Fact, I was told that a member of the media was recently at a conference and more than one person told them that they heard Reno was the next Austin! 15

16. Explosive Growth Is Coming!
Rapid Growth 2.2%
Compare the projected growth over the next five years to our “rapid growth” in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
We have never experienced this magnitude of growth in our history. In fact only once have we exceed 5% in a year and we are now looking at 5 years or more of this growth
And Tesla is only a 1/3 of it!
Historic Growth 1.2% / Year 16
