Stennis Space Center

2006 Economic Impact


Economic Viewpoint*

NASA’s Stennis Space Center is a significant source of employment and income


in the local area. If SSC had not been in operation in 2006, considering both direct
and indirect effects, a very conservative estimate of reduction in employment for
the local area would be more than 19,500 jobs.

A similar conservative estimate indicates that personal income would have been
reduced by more than $811.4 million, and retail sales would have been reduced
by $324.6 million. It is estimated that SSC has an impact on local government tax
revenues of $87.6 million.

*Study conducted by Dr. Charles A. Campbell, professor of economics, Mississippi


State University, February 2007.
