Entrepreneur Promotes Plan to Create Jobs for Millions of Rural Americans
Christopher Hytry Derrington, CEO of Rural America OnShore Outsourcing, promotes National Rural America Jobs Creation Plan as low-risk, proven model.
- (1888PressRelease) December 09, 2011 - TWO RIVERS, WISCONSIN - Christopher Hytry Derrington, CEO of rural US outsourcing company Rural America OnShore Outsourcing, Inc. (www.ruralamericaonshore.com), has unveiled a proposal for a jobs creation plan designed to create jobs for millions of rural Americans. The National Rural America Jobs Creation Plan (NRAJCP) proposes matching private investment with government bonds to create $500 million shared equally among the 50 states. NRAJCP targets five growth areas: IT, e-commerce, advanced energy, biomedical and advanced materials.
According to Hytry Derrington, the NRAJCP is the necessary formula to make the most of recent U.S. policies that support and invest in underserved rural areas. "The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided $7.2 billion to fund the expansion of broadband access and adoption across the U.S., both upgrading and adding high-speed Internet users," Hytry Derrington notes. "It worked - in 2000, we had 8 million broadband users, and in 10 short years that number approached 200 million. This increases the pool of available workers that can work from any part of the U.S." This influx of millions of new online workers, Hytry Derrington points out, needs entrepreneurs to create jobs, and an environment and plan to help them succeed.
The NRAJCP, Hytry Derrington says, is such a plan, with both a precedent for success, and a low-risk investment design. "Ohio designed their Third Frontier Program in 2002, and I helped them design the rural component in 2005," says Hytry Derrington. "Every study assessing the Ohio program reaches the same conclusion: increased job growth, increased tax revenue, and the state earned $10 for every $1 invested in that program." Hytry Derrington adds that the Ohio program was recently extended to 2015.
"Ohio created 41,300 new jobs with its program, and predicts that the state's overall tax revenue generated by their jobs creation program will exceed its entire investment by 2014, with a total economic impact 11 times its investment - and that's just one state," says Hytry Derrington. "Imagine replicating those results in every state across America."
The NRAJCP proposes that the $500 million be funded with 50 percent backed by federal government bonds, matched by local Venture capital and angel investment groups. This gives $10 million to every state. Investment in new and existing businesses located in Tier 2 and smaller rural cities and communities attracts entrepreneurs, builds companies and creates jobs.
"The investors reduce their investment risk by 50 percent with access to the government bond money," notes Hytry Derrington. "This is a huge incentive for investors to place their funds in rural US companies that will lead to jobs creation."
Investments are recouped when the companies mature and sell, with profits shared between the government and investors. Bonds are repaid with the sale proceeds.
Hytry Derrington is taking his NRAJCP on the road to shore up support, obtain feedback, and look for partners and champions in the private and government sectors.
