What is the meaning of かつ here?


Hello I am wondering about かつ. I got this sentence below. For context I put
the line before the one I am asking about.

でも 金で解決できるならそうすべきだ｡

何より その道のプロに任せた方が美しいし合理的 **かつ** 経済も回る｡

Does かつ mean "and" here perhaps? As for the rest of the sentence it's kind of
difficult to translate as well, I might be completely off. But maybe along the
lines of: More importantly, relying on the professionals of their line of
business make the beautiful rationality and economy go around.

edit: I somehow missed the し, after 美しい. That is why I was confused when
translating even more..




> 「何{なに}より その道{みち}のプロに任{まか}せた方{ほう}が美{うつく}しいし合理的{ごうりてき} **かつ**
> 経済{けいざい}も回{まわ}る｡」

「かつ/且{か}つ」 = "moreover", "as well as", "besides", "and", etc. This word is
very often written in kana.

Your TL:

> "More importantly, relying on the professionals of their line of business
> make the **beautiful rationality** and economy go around."

That is a nice try, but the original surely does **not** say "beautiful
rationality". The 「し」 in 「美しい **し** 」 is a conjunctive.

My TL:

> "More importantly, leaving it to the pros in the field would make it
> prettier, and it will be more rational; moreover, it will help the economy
> go around as well."

Note: I used "prettier" not knowing what kind of work/job/task it is talking
about. You have the whole context, so feel free to change that part to fit it.
