Provide a forecast of what the workforce demand would be over a five-year period to produce and market your team’s technical application or process. Include the impact such production would have on the marketplace.

            The workforce demand over a five-year period, if this project were to be put into production, would be extremely high. If the advertisers were able to convince the people of the world that this system is a necessity, the amount of people needed to set up these systems would be astronomical. In the United States alone, there are 102 million homes. If half of the people in the country were persuaded to set up this system, about 51 million homes would need this system to be set up. If you say that it requires about 3 workers per house to set up the system, that is about 153 million potential job opportunities for Americans. In an economic recession such as the one we are currently in, this number of open jobs could potentially jumpstart the economy. When more people have jobs, more people have money to spend. Therefore, this product would have a very beneficial effect on the marketplace. People would be spending more money, and buying more goods, and the economy would prosper. That is the potential that this product has in this world, because water is a necessity, not a want, and people will eventually realize its importance.
