As per the projections made by the Coega Development Corporation(CDC)
to create 15000 jobs between August 2007 and July 2010, so far the CDC
has managed to create over 22 000 jobs (August 2007 to date) of which
20 000 were from construction projects and the remainder from the
permanent jobs (direct and indirect jobs).
The following serves as the detailed breakdown:
2007/2008= 8 804 jobs
2008/2009= 7 247 jobs
2009/2010= 6 085 jobs
