HI GHER ED MATTERS
• The largest impact of
66by2020 is the $14.4
billion added to the Utah
economy over 30 years in
wages, with an annual rate
of $400 million.
• Over 30 years, the
66by2020 goal will result
in $1.4 billion in additional
tax revenue for the state of
Utah.
• An estimated 42,057
Utahns will escape the
cycle of intergenerational
poverty.
• The 66by2020 goal will re-
duce annual expenditures
in the SNAP/Food Stamp
program by $18 million.
The Impact of
66by2020
Recently, the Utah System
of Higher Education
produced a report that
estimates the direct and
indirect returns on invest-
ment if the 66by2020 goal
is achieved—that is, if 66%
of Utahns earn a post-sec-
ondary degree or certifcate
by 2020. Te fndings, some
of which are detailed below,
were impressive. For more
information, visit:
