Claim: "Higher education is one of America's strongest export sectors. Over 1 million international students studied at American universities, (in the) 2018-19 school year. They contributed over $40 billion to the economy.” (Chris Hayes, 2020-07-07)
Evidence (2022-03-09): The higher education sector itself is an important piece of the U.S. economy. In the fall of 2013, institutions of higher education that participated in Title IV federal financial aid programs employed almost 4 million people (NCES 2015). The higher education sector also confers a large advantage to the United States in the global market for talent. In the 2015–16 academic year, more than 1 million international students studied at U.S. colleges and universities. These students contributed more than $32 billion to the economy and supported more than 400,000 jobs (NAFSA 2016). [...] Much of the federal investment in institutions of higher education has flowed through grants and loans to students. Over the past decade, there have been substantial increases to the Pell Grant program, a conversion to federal direct lending, and the American Opportunity Tax Credit has been made permanent. Federal spending on grants and loans to students peaked in 2010 at $192 billion. According to the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), Pell Grant expansions initiated during the Great Recession have led an additional quarter million students to pursue and complete a college degree, resulting in $20 billion more in aggregate earnings (CEA 2016).

Evidence (2023-11-13): International students add US$40 billion to economy The one million international students studying in the United States contributed US$40.1 billion to the American economy during the 2022-23 academic year, says a report published online on 13 November by NAFSA: Association of International Educators. While the figure is still below the US$40.4 billion record recorded in 2018-19 (when there were almost 1.1 million international students in the country) – the last year before the COVID-19 pandemic – it is US$6.3 billion (or 19%) higher than in 2021-22.

Evidence (2018-11-13): Washington, November 13, 2018–NAFSA: Association of International Educators announced results from its latest economic analysis of international students studying in the United States. The new data released today showed that the more than one million international students studying at U.S. colleges and universities contributed $39 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 455,622 jobs during the 2017-2018 academic year. This represents a 1.2 percent increase in job support and creation and a 5.8 percent increase in dollars contributed to the economy from the previous academic year. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, education currently ranks as the nation’s 6th largest services export. This year, once again the same 10 states broke the $1 billion mark in contributions from international students. California, New York, Massachusetts, Texas and Pennsylvania saw the largest benefits from spending by these students and their families on living expenses, tuition and fees. Further analysis showed that 3 U.S. jobs are created or supported for every 7 enrolled international students by spending in the following sectors: higher education, accommodation, dining, retail, transportation, telecommunications and health insurance. NAFSA also found that the nearly 100,000 international students attending U.S. community colleges contributed $2.7 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 15,000 jobs during the 2017-2018 academic year.

Evidence (2021-03-15): International enrolments at US colleges and universities dropped precipitously last autumn amid strict quarantine requirements and widespread concern and confusion about federal rules on living in the country while studying online. Overall, international enrolment dropped 16 per cent, while new enrolments fell off a cliff, dropping 43 per cent. [...] However, several factors − including less openness in US policy as well as the growing wealth of countries such as China and India, and their concomitant investments in higher education − have conspired to change that. Now, Covid-19 may force an accelerated shift to a new model for international education: a move from the import to the export model. In fact, this year has set a precedent for this, with one in five international students at US institutions, and more than half of new ones, studying online from their home countries. Historically, efforts to export American higher education to other countries have been limited and have met with mixed success at best. We send significant numbers of US-trained PhDs back to their home countries but at nowhere near the levels needed to stand up institutions that could meet demand for US-style education. And branch campus models, like those in Qatar and the UAE, have generally come with exorbitant price tags and been met by significant red tape and disappointing enrolments.

Evidence (2020-07-07): "Higher education is one of America's strongest export sectors," Hayes said, while displaying a chart on U.S. education exports. [...] More than 1 million international students studied at U.S. institutions during the 2018-19 academic year, according to the Institute of International Education and NAFSA: Association of International Educators, two nonprofits dedicated to international education. The two organizations reported that those international students contributed more than $40 billion to the U.S. economy during the year. Experts said higher education can be considered an export because international students pay their tuition and living expenses to colleges and universities using money from abroad.

Evidence (2023-07-26): "America’s two great exports are Hollywood and higher education." [...] International students are voting with their feet — and euros, yuan, and rupees, too. Last year, more than 1 million international students studied in the United States, according to data from ICEF, which provides market research on international education. We’re nearly back to the 1.14 million who came to the United States in the year before the pandemic. And the United States is by far the most popular place for students from the rest of the world to study, with about 50 percent more students coming here each year than go to the United Kingdom, the next most popular country, according to statistics from the Institute for International Education. [...] International students contributed almost $34 billion to the U.S. economy in 2021-2022 academic year, according to NAFSA data. Perhaps more important, the ideas, energy, and vibrancy of those students will help our colleges and universities—and even our country—at the intellectual forefront of the world, just as generations before them have for the last-half century. The world knows that our higher education system is second to none. It’s up to us to make sure that they continue to take advantage of it — and we continue to take advantage of their skills and enthusiasm.

Evidence (2024-08-14): Higher Education is America’s 10th Top Export, Injecting Over $40 Billion into the U.S. Economy [...] These international students make a substantial economic contribution, injecting over $40 billion into the U.S. economy and supporting more than 368,000 jobs. Their spending goes far beyond tuition, encompassing everything from housing rentals to food delivery services, and it’s nearing an all-time high. Higher education has become one of America’s top exports, ranking as the 10th-leading export according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. However, this "export" is, in reality, an import of international students who bring their financial resources into the U.S. economy.

Evidence (2023-11-13): Over one million international students contributed $40.1 billion to the U.S. economy in the 2022-2023 academic year, marking a significant 19 percent increase compared to the previous academic year, according to data from NAFSA: Association for International Educators in Washington, DC. Even though the economic benefit remains below the peak of nearly $40.5 billion set in the 2018-2019 academic year, this is the second consecutive year of recorded growth following the negative effect of the pandemic that began in March 2020. The number of international students studying at U.S. colleges and universities rebounded from lows hit during the pandemic, rising 12 percent to 1,057,188 in 2022-2023, an increase of more than 100,000 students according to the Open Doors report by the Institute of International Education (IIE). [...] International students make contributions not only through the tuition they pay to U.S. higher education institutions but also through their spending on accommodations, transportation, food, and consumer goods while they are living in the U.S.

Evidence (2021-08-03): Colleges and universities in the United States attract more than a million international students a year. Higher education is one of America’s top service exports, generating $42 billion in revenue. But the money spigot is closing. The pandemic, visa restrictions, rising tuition and a perception of poor safety in America have driven new international student enrollment down by a jaw-dropping 72 percent. [...] Higher education has become one of the United States’ largest service exports, equal to annual exports of soybeans, corn, and textile supplies combined. From 2006, when enrollments from abroad began to climb, to their all-time high, of nearly 1.1 million in 2018, the number of international students in America more than doubled. [...] Those stopgap measures helped cushion the blow — somewhat. In 2020 the export value of higher education fell by $9.5 billion, a 20-percent drop.

Evidence (2017-01-31): As I wrote above, there is good reason to believe that the official numbers understate the importance of education exports. The numbers reported measure direct spending on education—tuition and the like. They do not include spending on room and board, used cars, pizza shops, or anything else college students spend their money on. Research by John Douglass, Richard Edelstein and Cecile Hoareau from 2011, "US Higher Education as an Export," reports that the estimated economic impact of higher education, taking out financial aid and adding in cost-of-living expenses, raises the direct economic impact by 43 percent. (The extra 43 percent measures direct spending only, excluding indirect effects of job creation and the like.) Unless that ratio of extract spending has changed, the total value of education exports today tops $50 billion. There is a good argument to be made that higher education is one of our most successful export sectors. We’re good at higher education, and the rest of the world flocks to our shores and pays for the chance to study in America. Just under 5 percent of college students in the United States are visiting from abroad. As argued above, this is critical for exports. It’s economically critical for something else: Foreigners subsidize American students. Foreign students are generally eligible for very little foreign aid. They pay full freight. Especially in public universities, such as the one at which I teach, those dollars are critical in replacing the money that used to be allocated by state legislatures.

Evidence (2023-10-06): Higher Education is America’s 10th Top Export, Injecting Over $40 Billion into the U.S. Economy Did you know that the United States has a secret weapon in its economic arsenal? It’s not technology, agriculture, or manufacturing – it’s education. Higher education has quietly become America’s 10th largest export, pumping over $40 billion into the U.S. economy annually. [...] However, this educational export faces challenges. Increasing competition from other countries, visa restrictions, and geopolitical tensions threaten to erode America’s market share. To maintain its edge, the U.S. must continue to invest in its educational institutions and create welcoming policies for international students.

Evidence (2019-11-19): WASHINGTON, D.C., November 18, 2019—The number of international students in the United States set an all-time high in the 2018/19 academic year, the fourth consecutive year with more than one million international students. The total number of international students, 1,095,299, is a 0.05 percent increase over last year, according to the 2019 Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange. International students make up 5.5 percent of the total U.S. higher education population. According to data from the U.S. Department of Commerce, international students contributed $44.7 billion to the U.S. economy in 2018, an increase of 5.5 percent from the previous year. [...] For the tenth consecutive year, China remained the largest source of international students in the United States in 2018/19 with 369,548 students in undergraduate, graduate, non-degree, and optional practical training (OPT) programs, a 1.7 percent increase from 2017/18. India (202,014, +2.9 percent), South Korea (52,250, -4.2 percent), Saudi Arabia (37,080, -16.5 percent), and Canada (26,122, +0.8 percent) round out the top five. Emerging market countries showed some of the strongest growth year over year, especially Bangladesh (+10.0 percent), Brazil (+9.8 percent), Nigeria (+5.8 percent), and Pakistan (+5.6 percent).

Evidence (2024-07-11): On higher education, it recommends a return to demand-driven funding of universities.

Evidence (2024-09-12): Agriculture and waste sector [...] Unlike other recommendations in this report, this is an excellent opportunity for the private sector to jump in and offer a helpful tool to engage as much of society as is interested in driving the necessary change. When John F. Kennedy called for America to land on the moon, he asked science and education to join in the challenge, and it 255 captivated the imagination of millions. This is just a small opportunity to make the large number of Americans who care about climate change part of building a 100 Percent Clean Future. [...] America’s future is in the balance. If the country acts, it means a safer, healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future for all Americans and their families. It means clean air and water for everyone and millions of high-wage jobs all across the country; developing innovative green technologies to export to the rest of the world; and building infrastructure that will power America and make communities healthier and safer. This is a future to embrace and welcome; it will improve people’s lives today and ensure prosperity for generations of Americans to come.

Evidence (2019-01-23): In Charlotte, North Carolina, manufacturing jobs rose 26% over the past year generating more than $40 billion in economic impact. It has benefited from recent relocations of manufacturers Jeld-Wen and Genpak and existing groups such as Daimler Trucks, which is developing connective and automotive transport solutions. Indeed, it is investing $616.5 million in 2018-19 on R&D. [...] US manufacturers are set to continue ramping up investments in their operations in 2019. The December semi-annual economic forecast from the Institute for Supply Management revealed that manufacturers intend to increase capital expenditure by 6% next year. [...] Individual states are also boosting investment through measures such as more advantageous R&D tax credits and the creation of trade zones and training incentives. This is also trying to help convince manufacturers to switch location to make savings, which they can then reinvest in further development.
