The sectors with the highest production values of the multiplier in Pará are Livestock and fishing, Food and beverages, Items of clothing and accessories and leather goods and footwear. Sectors of agribusiness, tourism and education have a high capacity to generate jobs, such as Agriculture, Forestry and logging, Livestock and fishing, Articles of apparel and accessories, Lodging and food services, Other services and Public education. Products exported to the rest of the country and abroad have low value, indicating a need for investment in the agribusiness sector. The sectors that showed the largest multiplier value added are Public education, Public administration and social security, Education and Other services market, but they also have a high spillover effect. Investment in public education produces high returns on employment generation and value added.
