UCSC generates $1.2B in economic activity
for the Monterey Bay Area
The bottom line:
UCSC spending during 2009-10 was responsible for $1.2 billion in economic
activity within the Monterey Bay Area—an economic catalyst that supported over
15,750 jobs for area residents.
That's the conclusion of a new study prepared by
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. The campus report is organized into three parts: a
findings overview; "did
you know"—examples of how UCSC students, faculty, and staff contribute to
the local region; and a discussion of report methodology.
