‘Got Jobs?’ campaign highlights dairy’s economic impact in U.S.

The U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC), the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) have collaborated to create the “Got Jobs? Dairy Creates Jobs, Exports Create More” campaign.

Easy-to-access Information

The Got Jobs? campaign provides a clearinghouse of information. The site will offer monthly features, videos, and plenty of hard facts that demonstrate dairy’s continued impact on jobs, tax revenue, and communities around the country.

“Dairy has a positive story to tell, affecting a wide swath of America, creating jobs and tax revenue in rural, suburban, and urban communities,” said Tom Vilsack, president and CEO of USDEC, who saw dairy’s impact firsthand as U.S. Agriculture Secretary. “I’m delighted we now have a go-to place where people can find state-by-state data and compelling human stories that reinforce the same message: ‘Dairy creates jobs and exports create more.'”
