Broiler industry provides 1.4 Million jobs and $450 billion in economic impact
The study breaks down poultry into three subcategories: broilers, turkey and eggs. The broiler industry provides 1,375,952 jobs, $90.9 billion in wages, $449.5 billion in economic activity and $36.7 billion in government revenue. The data is hosted on interactive websites that can be viewed collectively or by individual product, and then sorted nationally, by state, congressional district, state house district or state senate district, and county.
"This valuable tool shows the positive economic impact the poultry and egg industry have on our nation and communities, and we are pleased to continue providing it", said Nath Morris, 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 Interim President Gary Kushner. "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. This data will prove extremely helpful as we welcome a new Congress to Wahington next year. I want to thank USPOULTRY for funding and coordinating this effort".
The economic impact study was funded by USPOULTRY. The study was conducted by John Dunham & Associates, based in New York City. The study was updated using the most current methodology available and uses data from 2024.
