The Space Report 2008 is a publication that thoroughly examines and analyzes the state of the space industry. The flagship product of the Space Foundation’s Research and Analysis division, The Space Report 2008 covers primarily 2007 data, contains information on global space budgets and revenues, a yearly summary, plus analysis of the Space Foundation Index, and, for the first time, addresses United States (U.S.) labor and workforce issues. Total global space industry budgets and revenues reached 251.16B/USD in 2007, representing a single-year increase of 11 percent from 2006. Plus, for the first time, The Space Report examines the role of space jobs within the overall United States workforce, which shows the U.S. space industry employment is growing and that the average annual wage within the industry is more than double the broader private sector average wage, those being 88.2k/US versus 42.4K/USD, respectively.
