NEW YORK–(ENEWSPF)–November 28, 2012. A new EPI report finds that the proposed tax provision known as the Buffett Rule could help create about 43,000 jobs in 2013 and roughly 95,000 jobs per year from 2014 through 2017. In The employment impact of coupling the Buffett Rule with job creating investments, EPI Senior Policy Analyst Ethan Pollack explains that implementing the most widely supported legislation to apply the Buffett Rule, the Paying a Fair Share Act of 2012, would raise about $60 billion over the next five years and nearly $163 billion over a decade. This money could then be invested in high-impact job-creation measures such as infrastructure.
