A special initiative of Be Local Buy Local: Keep Your Bucks in Jackson Hole, 10% Home encourages local shoppers to make a small investment in Jackson's economy.
The next time you make a shopping list and before you search online or plan a drive out of town, make the effort to keep 10% more home. Your job and future in this valley are certain to benefit from the effort. The following statistics and possibilities are based on last year's sales tax and revenue numbers.
10% Home Could Provide:
- $2,400,000: At the minimum, this would be the direct annual economic benefit that would stay right here at home.
- 54 Year Round Jobs for Residents: These would be jobs that could be maintained at a pay rate of $45,000 per year.
- Direct Positive Economic Impact: This is proactive approach to an uncertain economic climate. All we have to do is focus 10% more of our spending at home.
10% Home encourages local residents to begin adjusting their shopping habits by taking advantage of the holiday shopping initiative, SPLURGE. Visit www.jacksonholechamber.com/splurge for the latest promotions!
