Hi,
While you are right, a closer look at those numbers reveals something interesting. There are no other base level occupations. All the other occupations are support and service. With 500 people in finance, etc., I doubt it is a commercial center. So, it looks to be about seven to one in support. Which means that, for each job lost in the base economy, eight jobs are lost in total.
