An interesting study was released today, indicating that SIUC contributes about $2.3 billion to the state and local economies. Every dollar sent by the state to SIUC generates about $7.72 in economic activity in the state and returns about 41 cents back to the state in tax revenues. A 700% return on your investment is not shabby.
Of course, this is the number for every non-service job (more or less). One of the great things about having factories in your town.
