The employment multiplier for sector j indicates the total change in employment from a unit change in direct employment in sector j. The numerator is the sum of interdependence coefficients for sector j weighted by average employment per unit of output in each sector, or the direct plus indirect effects of a unit change in final demand. The denominator is average employment per unit of output in sector j, or the direct effect of a unit change in final demand.
