摘要：	A comprehensive independent study of the economic impacts of the entire Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway navigation system for the 2022 shipping season was released in July, detailing the billions in economic activity and hundreds of thousands of jobs supported by the industry. Titled "Economic Impacts of Maritime Shipping in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Region," the study reviews the industry's economic impacts from multiple perspectives and showed that even in a year in which the world was gripped with pandemic challenges, global unrest, and supply chain concerns, marine shipping drove the North American economy forward. The binational study presents results from both a U.S. and Canadian perspective. An analysis of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System is most relevant to U.S. stakeholders because it focuses on cargo traffic to and from Great Lakes ports. The study showed that from this perspective, 2022 maritime commerce supported: 1. US$36 billion in economic activity. 2. More than 240,000 jobs, which generated almost US$18 billion in wages. 3. The movement of 135.7 million metric tons of raw materials and finished goods. 4. US$6.3 billion in state and federal taxes.
