(e.g. 50K in the 50K-100K range) and applied ‘deadweight’, related to the proportion of consumption which
would be undertaken irrespective of the Digital Hub. The initial figure is $85/ month, which doesn’t allow for
consumption by respondents who would ‘prefer to not say’ nor the members who didn’t provide a survey
response – this is a further conservative measure.

6.2.3 Employment generation and value

The evaluators modelled the above estimates of job values through sensitivity analysis. This allowed for potential error, over-
allocation of value and outlier data. After 5 tests and checks, the evaluators confirmed the average monthly rate for each job is
~$7,500/ month or $90,000 per year. This was performed by a qualified economist. Within section 8.0, each job is assigned this
average value.

A key outcome from the survey is the creation of 41.5 jobs attributed to Digital Hub activity.
