The study focuses on five categories of airport business activity: airport management, on-airport business tenants, capital investments, and spending by visitors arriving via commercial and general aviation. Our analysis estimates that, in total, DLH supports over 4,000 full-time jobs annually, contributing $284.8 million in labor income and $1.4 billion in output to the state’s economy. This represents direct, indirect, and induced effects across the five areas noted in the full report.Bureau of Business and Economic ResearchUniversity of Minnesota DuluthBBERLabovitz School of Business and Economicsaviationeconomic developmentMinnesotaeconomic impact analysisReport
