How would dredging affect jobs?

The Ports of Philadelphia and Camden currently support over 75,000 employees both directly and indirectly. 9200 are jobs directly on the waterfront, with 3100 workers living in New Jersey. The dredging of the Delaware would initially create 1600 new union jobs, and could add over 3900 jobs to the Port of Camden over the next ten years. This increase in jobs would generate over $200 million in additional wages and $600 million in personal income over the next ten years.
