Additionally, HSR will stimulate our economy. A study by Georgetown University estimates that a $1 trillion investment in infrastructure would create 11 million new American jobs over ten years. The nation’s first HSR project under construction in California has already created more than 5,000 jobs so far, with many more to come. Further, A new national HSR network will create an entire new manufacturing industry including an extensive supply chain made up of thousands of specialty companies. This new domestic industry will encourage small businesses, and create long-term, good paying, family-supporting jobs.

Building high-speed rail will create hundreds of thousands of jobs. Every $1 billion in investment creates 24,000 jobs. These are highly skilled jobs that will revitalize the domestic rail industries supplying transportation products and services. Many additional jobs are created through the commerce fostered through the economic activity and development which they spark.
