New economic analysis: U.S. dairy industry accounts for $620 billion in economic impact, 3 million-plus jobs
The Dairy Delivers website offers a comprehensive set of data at the national, state and Congressional district levels, measuring the economic impact of dairy on U.S. economy.
In honor of National Dairy Month, the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), Washington, D.C., launched an updated version of its economic impact tool, Dairy Delivers, which measures the combined impact of the dairy products industry at the national, state and Congressional district levels across the United States.
Updated for the first time since 2017, Dairy Delivers is the most comprehensive and current analysis of how the production and marketing of all dairy products — milk, ice cream, cheese, butter, yogurt and cultured products, as well as ingredients such as protein powders and whey — positively affect the U.S. economy, IDFA said. Data include direct and indirect measures of output, wages, jobs, state and national gross domestic product (GDP), and contributions to taxes at the local, state and national levels.
