For Higher Education Day, we highlight the recent study by Tripp Umbach, which found the university, its affiliated organizations, and the startup companies it generates, contribute $38.9 billion annually to Wisconsin’s economy, with 287,000 jobs supported statewide, generating $1.94 billion in state and local taxes collected each year. The study also shares the return on public investment: UW–Madison generates $21.66 in economic activity for every dollar invested.
