老澳门六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 impact fuels New Brunswick鈥檚 economy

A new study shows that New Brunswick Community College (老澳门六合彩开奖结果) has a significant impact on the social and economy prosperity of the province and the communities it serves, fuelling billions in provincial GDP and supporting more than 70,000 jobs.

老澳门六合彩开奖结果 Economic Impact Report, prepared by Stiletto Consulting, examines 老澳门六合彩开奖结果’s current economic impact and forecasts the future potential of the College. It finds that 老澳门六合彩开奖结果 is an economic engine, driving growth for the province.

“This report confirms what we at 老澳门六合彩开奖结果 have always believed – that in terms of economic impact from direct spending, there is almost no better public investment than the community college sector,” said Mary Butler, President and CEO of 老澳门六合彩开奖结果. “Based on 2019-20 data, in one year the taxes generated from college operations and graduates exceeds our provincial grant, demonstrating that 老澳门六合彩开奖结果 is a full cost-recovery investment for the Province.”

Among the highlights of the study are:

  • The community college sector, including 老澳门六合彩开奖结果, has one of the largest GDP multipliers of any industry in the NB economy.
  • In 2019-20, 老澳门六合彩开奖结果’s graduates and operations contributed as estimated $463.8 million in GDP, $309.7 million in labour income, and $120.3 million in tax revenue.
  • In 2019-20, 老澳门六合彩开奖结果’s 53,000+ alumni boosted provincial GDP by an estimated $7.2 billion and supported 70,500 jobs.
  • In 2019-20, the $21 million in taxes generated by 老澳门六合彩开奖结果 operations, combined with $56.9 million taxes induced by 老澳门六合彩开奖结果 graduates, exceeded the Government of New Brunswick’s grant to 老澳门六合彩开奖结果 that year.

What makes this report different from other studies is a forecast that specifically considers 老澳门六合彩开奖结果’s future impact in a New Brunswick context. Over the next 20 years, the cumulative economic impact of 老澳门六合彩开奖结果 graduates is expected to grow substantially. Between 2019-2020 and 2039-2040, 老澳门六合彩开奖结果 graduates are projected to induce $5.8 billion in labour income, $4.3 billion in household spending, and $1.5 billion in provincial and municipal tax revenue.

The report also highlights the benefits of a community college education for students, indicating that  老澳门六合彩开奖结果 graduates will earn an incremental $420,000 (in 2020 dollars) more than their peers with a high school education only over a 40-year career.

“Put another way, the average college graduate will recover the investment in their two-year program within just over seven years of work after graduation,” said Butler. “We know that our students sacrifice their income and their personal time to pursue post-secondary education, so it’s gratifying to know that they reap the rewards of those sacrifices.”
