Riley asks whether there is a breakdown of local residents hired and the occupations they filled. Kreamer says the 12,100 jobs figure comes from a Tourism Economics model and does not go down to that level of detail.

Kevin C. Riley

I wanted to talk about job creation.

Kevin C. Riley

I know during the largest thing that we always or the benefit from large events like this is job creation.

Kevin C. Riley

Is there a breakdown on the local residents who were hired during the World Cup?

Kevin C. Riley

And do you have a breakdown of the type of occupations that they were hired for?

Justin Kreamer

Thank you for the question, Councilmember.

Justin Kreamer

We don't have a breakdown of that information.

Justin Kreamer

The 12,100 jobs was based off of a model that Tourism Economics uses, but it's not.

Justin Kreamer

It doesn't go down to that level of detail.

Kevin C. Riley

Okay.
