Investment into Community Colleges = Returns


Did you know…?
 
State and local governments invested $336.1 million in support of Oregon community colleges in FY 2010-11. For every dollar of this support, taxpayers see a cumulative return of $2.20 over the course of students’ working careers in the form of higher tax receipts and avoided social costs (such as crime, welfare receipt and unemployment).
