In a December 2nd release the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY) and United Egg Producers released an updated economic impact study that highlights the positive impact the egg industry has on jobs, wages, and federal and state revenue in the United States. The revised study updated data from 2019 and confirms that the egg industry provides 119,080 jobs, $6.7 billion in wages, $34.7 billion in economic activity and $2.5 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.

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.
