Coca-Cola's $85 Billion Economic Impact in the US
The Coca-Cola Company's U.S. operations and its network of bottling partners have a significant impact on the American economy, contributing $85 billion to the country's gross domestic product in one year alone.
This figure translates to approximately $10 million in economic activity every hour, according to an independent study commissioned by the company.
The Coca-Cola system supports nearly 1 million jobs across the United States, including direct jobs within the company and its bottling partners, as well as jobs supported through retailers and restaurants where its beverage products are sold.
