2006 Economic Impact Report — Maine
Sportsmen and women support more jobs in Maine than the University of Maine, one of the state’s largest employers (8,800 jobs vs. 8,000).
Every five years in conjunction with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Survey on hunters and anglers, CSF produces a report on the economic impact hunters and anglers have on the economy. This information is vital in helping policy makers, media and the public better understand the impact hunting and fishing activities have on the national and local economy as well as their size as a constituency.
