If Halifax does get the 11,500 or so jobs the impact will be huge. I'm not sure how much that includes spinoff jobs.

The equation that most economic spin off reports use is that for every 1 job - there is usually a spin off of between 3 to 4 jobs in the service industry.
For the sake of math; I'll assume the lower (3 jobs).
So that could be a spin off of some 34500 jobs in the service sector.
