Thus, on top of the 1,042 full and
part time employees working on the
casino property, an additional 521
more people will be employed to meet
the additional demand. Also, the income
multiplier for hotels and amusement
services is 1.5. Thus, the secondary
income impact from the new
payroll is about 12.5 million dollars.

Production Linkages
Besides the employment and payroll
stimulus, the new Native American
Gaming facility buys goods and services
from local, regional, and national
vendors. Harrah?s reports that it
bought $890,353 worth of products
from Jackson County-based businesses
and another $3,042,204 worth from
Shawnee County-based businesses.
This buying pattern also stimulates
more job creation and more payroll
payout. Using a ratio of one job per
$100,000 in retail activity, this suggests
40 jobs being created.
Fiscal Linkages
Tribal, city, county, state, and federal
taxes are deducted from or collected
from the casino employees? salaries
either from the paycheck or when the
employees buy retail purchases.
Harrah?s reports that they collected
and remitted $21,215 in tribal sales tax
on purchases made on the NAG property.
They report that they collected
$521,346 and sent that to the State of
Kansas as income tax deducted from
the earnings of employees. They report
that they collected $3,538,558 for
the federal government for both federal
income taxes and payments to
social insurance.
