ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 8, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/
-- The National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA)
today announced the launch of DeliveringLocalJobs.com, the
centerpiece of a new public awareness effort highlighting the faces
of the beer distribution industry – the 135,000 men and
women who work as truck drivers, sales representatives,
inventory specialists, graphic designers, receptionists and more
quality, well-paying, career-track distribution jobs available in
local communities, in all 50 states.
Altogether, those men and women earn $11.2 billion in wages and salaries, and they
help generate:
- 70 billion for the U.S. economy (GDP)
- Nearly $180 million in community
economic impacts (including support for charities and economic
development)
- Nearly $13 billion in tax
revenue.
"The 'Delivering Local Jobs' website helps recognize the 135,000
beer distribution employees who are the engines behind the American
beer industry," said NBWA President and CEO Craig Purser. "Beer distributors may be best
known for driving beer trucks down local streets delivering fresh
beer to stores, restaurants and pubs, but they are doing more than
keeping store shelves stocked and taps flowing – they also are
building beer brands, generating unprecedented consumer choice and
boosting local economies from coast to coast."
The new website uses a wide range of videos and individual
stories to put a face on the men and women of the beer distribution
industry. The first video on the website, The Face of the Beer
Distribution Industry, shows more than 30 distribution employees
from across the country who work in a wide range of jobs. Other
highlights of the website include:
- See Us at Work page
featuring a "Day in the Life of a Beer Distributor" time-lapse
video
- Meet Your Local Distributor page featuring employees
from all 50 states.
- Building Local Economies page which includes
state-by-state data of the economic value local beer distributors
deliver.
- Building Beer Brands page which showcases distributor
employees building a wide range of beer styles and brands and
includes videos from beer experts answering popular questions about
beer.
The distributor employees highlighted on the website work with
more than 5,000 brewers and importers to help build brands –
large and small, well-known and brand new, from around the corner
and from around the world.
The website will serve as a resource for industry leaders, state
and local elected officials and media representatives across the
country.
