Regional Center
A “Regional Center” is defined as any economic unit, public or private, engaged in the promotion of econogrowth, improved regional productivity, job creation and increased domestic capital investment.
For a Regional Center, one constant issue is how to create the required 10 jobs. The following three methods are generally valid ways to count the job creations.
Direct Job Created
To reach this goal, you can either directly create 10 jobs through an employer-employee relationship. You can put them on payroll and there is no doubt that each job is a job that you have created.
Indirect Job Created
Indirect jobs are jobs that are created due to your enterprise but not hired by you. For example, your enterprise just paid $30,000 for a car. Using an accepted economic model, USCIS will calculate and give you credit for a certain number of jobs created. In other words, you did not hire anyone, but your purchase caused someone to be hired to create the products and services that you just ordered.
Induced jobs created
Induced jobs are jobs that are created when direct and indirect workers spend the money that is earned because of your enterprise. When direct and indirect workers spend their money, more jobs are created due to your credit.
