Indirect jobs: Contractors, service providers, and local businesses that support your institution (like food vendors, tech support, and janitorial services).
Induced jobs: Local businesses that grow because of spending by your employees and students (such as restaurants, retail stores, and housing providers).
Why it matters: Shows how your HBCU sustains families and communities through employment.
Tax Revenue Impact
Your HBCU contributes to the public good through taxes generated by:
Employee salaries
