While there is a large body of literature on air passenger traffic's impact on local employment, the interaction between air cargo traffic and local employment remains relatively untouched. This paper tries to fill in the gap by analyzing the impact of air cargo traffic on local employment in 20 Turkish provinces using Census 2000 data. The results of 2-stage least squares estimations show that air cargo traffic stimulates employment in finance, insurance, real estate and business services and increases the total number of administrative and managerial workers and the total number of clerical and related workers while it tends to reduce employment in agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing activities and the total number of agricultural, animal husbandry, forestry workers, fishermen and hunters.

Embora exista uma vasta literatura sobre o impacto do tráfego aéreo de passageiros e a geração de emprego, a interação entre o tráfego de carga aérea e o emprego local permanece relativamente intocado. Este trabalho tenta preencher a lacuna, analisando o impacto do tráfego de carga aérea no emprego local em 20 províncias turcas usando dados do Censo de 2000. Os resultados de uma regressão com método de mínimos quadrados em dois estágios mostram que o tráfego de carga aérea estimula emprego em finanças, seguros, imobiliário e serviços de negócios e aumenta o número total de trabalhadores em administração e gerência e o número total de trabalhadores de escritório e afins, enquanto ele tende a reduzir emprego na agricultura, caça, silvicultura e atividades de pesca e o número total de produtores agrícolas, de criação de animais, trabalhadores florestais, pescadores e caçadores.
