The Economic Benefits of International to the U.S. Economy Contributed $2 billion in 2012-201; Supports 1,000 jobs International students contribute academic value to U.S. colleges and universities as well as cultural value to local communities. International students also make a significant contribution to the U.S. economy. During the 2012-201 academic year, NAFSA: Association of International Educators estimates that international students and their dependents contributed $2 billion to the U.S. economy. NAFSA s economic analysis also shows that nearly 1,000 jobs are supported or generated as a result of international student spending on tuition and living expenses while in the United States. This means that for every 7 international students enrolled, U.S. jobs are created or supported by spending occurring in the following sectors: higher education, accommodation, dining, retail, transportation, telecommunications, and health insurance. Overall analysis of the economic contributions is conducted for NAFSA by Jason Baumgartner, director for information services at Indiana University Bloomington s Office of International Services. The dollar amounts are calculated using: International student enrollment figures from the Institute of International Education Open Doors 201 report, produced in partnership with the U.S. Department of State s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs; College and university tuition data from the U.S. Department of Education s National Center of Educational Statistics Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, plus living expenses derived from these figures. The number of jobs created/supported is calculated using the above data combined with data and research findings from: The U.S. Department of Commerce s International Trade Administration and Bureau of Economic Analysis, and Dr. Enrico Moretti, a professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley, who discusses an extended multiplier effect in innovation sectors in his book, The New Geography of Jobs (2012). Access http://www.nafsa.org/economicvalue for a more in-depth discussion of the research methodology, and to use NAFSA s new interactive International Student Economic Value Tool, which highlights ten-year trends and data broken down by region, state, and congressional district. By any measure, international education makes a significant contribution. 107 New York Avenue NW, Eighth Floor, Washington, D.C. 2000-701 202.77.699/www.nafsa.org/policy
