Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to determine if a statistically signi”cant relationship exists between administrative and auxiliary employment levels and air passenger volume for the top 50 urban-airport complexes in the United States from 1973 to 1996. The goal of this paper is a fairly modest one *to re”ne and expand the current literature’s focus by conducting a broader investigation of the links that exist between air passenger volume and employment levels within local economies. Based on data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the US Census Bureau County Business Patterns, the major “ndings of this paper were that the correlation between administrative and auxiliary employment and enplaned passenger volume over time are statistically signi”cant at the 1% level.
