US: Chicken industry provides over 1.5 Million Jobs
The study breaks down poultry into three subcategories: chicken, turkey and eggs. The chicken industry provides 1,517,797 jobs, $94.9 billion in wages, $417 billion in economic activity and $25.5 billion in government revenue.
"We are pleased to continue providing this valuable tool across the industry that shows the positive economic impact the poultry industry has on our nation and communities," said John Starkey, president of USPOULTRY.
"Chicken producers’ positive economic impact stretches from coast to coast, hits every sector of the U.S. economy and is felt in every congressional district," added NCC President Mike Brown. "We know that chicken is nutritious, affordable and versatile, but chicken also means jobs - whether it’s on the farm, in the processing plant, the transportation sector, manufacturing, retail or restaurants. I want to thank USPOULTRY for funding and coordinating this effort."
