KU International Affairs

A new report reveals just how important KU is to Kansans and their economic well-being: The university has an annual statewide economic impact of $7.8 billion and supports nearly 88,000 jobs — or one out of every 23 workers in Kansas. 🌻 Learn more. news.ku.edu/news/article/k…

One in every 23 Kansas jobs is supported by @UnivOfKansas activity, a new study has found. The study also shows that for every $1 invested in KU, taxpayers gain $2.90 in added tax revenue and public sector savings. news.ku.edu/news/article/k…
