#FDIintheUSA: Nearly 7 Million American Jobs

By Elizabeth Schaefer, Director of Investment Analysis, SelectUSA

(September 8, 2017) At the end of 2016, FDI stock (the total amount) reached a record $3.7 trillion, and in 2015 FDI was responsible for 6.8 million direct jobs in the United States, an increase of 1.5 million since the end of the 2009 recession. These are high-impact jobs, too; the average annual compensation per direct worker in 2015 was $79,040, almost a quarter higher than the national average.
