That's an interesting ratio 20,000 -> 8,000.
Makes sense I guess, the gov't rakes 40% off the top, leaving us with 12,000, then housing takes its 30%, leaving us with 8,400.
If anything, 8,000 is a bit high, since money isn't going to stick in the Riverside County economy all that long.
But maybe the 8,000 is counting 2nd order distribution, like maybe it's 20,000 -> 6,000 -> 1,000 -> 500 -> 200 . . .

He calculated that the proposed World Logistics Center would put one person to work for every 2,000 square feet of warehouse space, creating about 20,000 “direct jobs.”
And how long before those 20,000 jobs become 10,000 jobs? As per the "quote of the day" in my post? Sigh.
