7006 fan
I think I can explain the discrepancies in potential employment figures. The initial 7000 were suggested by pathway and employment agencies in Doncaster. DSA/Peel suggest the 2350 figure. Where these differ, in terms of job creation is that the DSA figure is determined by what sustainable jobs (permanent, full/part time) will be created directly or indirectly by the airport and at the airport. The accumulative posts needed to fulfil the blueprint of anticipated investment and companies’ locating/relocating to the area derive the 7000 figure. For instance, the 7000 jobs embody; respected companies staff intake, and manpower needed to construct the buildings, (construction workers, labourers, security guards, painter/decorators etc), many of these will be contracted for an ‘x’ period of time.
However, because of the initial success of the airport the goal posts have moved, and I think you will see in due course the 7000 as being a conservative estimate.
I think even Peel have underestimated the ‘pull’ of the airport.
