In the EB-5 program, the creation of ten jobs is perhaps the most important step in ensuring an investor receives a green card for herself and her family. However, counting jobs is not always as simple as looking at a payroll report, and it takes a skilled economist to accurately count projected direct and indirect job creation in a regional center project. On this episode, Mona and Mark are joined by senior economists Kimberly Atteberry (Vermilion Consulting), Scott W. Barnhart (Barnhart Economic Services) and David R. Evans (Evans, Carroll & Associates) who specialize in preparing EB-5 economic impact studies for EB-5 projects using a variety of job counting methodologies. Listen in to hear how the Targeted Employment Area (TEA) methodology was changed by the new regulations (in effect as of November 21, 2019), which type of job counting methodology will produce the highest number of jobs and how the pandemic may affect TEA classifications in the future.
