The plant-based food industry has created 55,634 high-paying jobs in the United States, according to new data released by trade group Plant Based Foods Association (PBFA). On average, jobs in the plant-based industry paid $59,300—approximately $12,500 more than the average American income.

根据贸易团体植物性食品协会（PBFA）发布的新数据，植物性食品行业为美国创造了55,634个高薪就业机会。植物性行业的平均年薪为59,300美元──比美国人的平均年收入高大约12,500美元。

Plant-based food companies pay $1 billion in federal and state taxes and contributed $5.6 billion to gross domestic product (GDP) each year. A recent joint report released by PBFA and advocacy group Good Food Institute valued the plant-based food industry at $4.5 billion with vegan retail sales growing five times faster than all other food sales.

（美国）植物性食品公司每年为国内生产总值（GDP）贡献56亿美元，共缴纳10亿美元的联邦及州税。植物性食品协会和倡导组织“好食品研究所”（Good Food Institute）最近发布了一份联合报告，对植物性食品行业估值为45亿美元；报告数据显示，纯素食品零售的销售增长比所有其他食品（零售）的销售增长快五倍。

“With continued double-digit retail sales growth of plant-based foods, it is not surprising to see the continued job growth in the plant-based food industry,” Michele Simon, executive director of the PBFA, said. “With the outlook for the plant-based foods industry being so strong, these job figures will only increase.” 

“随着植物性食品持续两位数的零售销售增长，植物性食品行业的就业机会也持续增长，这并不出乎人的意料，”植物性食品协会的执行董事米歇尔·西蒙（Michele Simon）说道。“植物性食品行业的前景如此强劲，这些就业数字只会有增无减。”

PBFA predicts that at its current growth rate, the plant-based industry will generate $11.7 billion in tax revenues over the next ten years and add 1,900 high-wage jobs to the economy annually.

植物性食品协会预测，按照目前的增长速度，植物性行业在未来十年里将创造117亿美元的税收收入，并且每年为经济体系增加1,900个高薪职位。
