His work shows that for every new high wage job created in an area’s exporting industries, five additional new jobs are created in that metro area - three of which are for workers who have not attended college.

This multiplier effect happens because these high wage earners spend their money on local goods and services - things like restaurants, movies, nannies and others providing personal services.
