International students offer broad perspectives to students, faculty, and staff at the educational institutions they attend, and they also provide significant financial support to the local communities. According to NAFSA and JB International’s International Student Economic Value Tool, international students supported more than 350,000 jobs in the US in the 2024/2025 academic year through tuition, housing, and living expenses.
For every three international students enrolled, one US job is created or supported! This includes the obvious higher education and accommodations jobs, but also jobs in dining, transportation, telecommunication, insurance, retail, and more. In Texas alone (where Transcript Research is headquartered), international students support more than 21,000 local jobs!
