The economic impact of universities

Universities typically support up to one additional job in the immediate local economy for every person they directly employ.

And they are often among the largest local employers, with 19 UK institutions directly employing more than 5,000 people, and 10 of these accounting for at least 5% of all jobs in their local authority area.
