University of Regina's Paul J. Hill School of Business and Kenneth Levene Graduate School of Business are making a substantial economic and social impact on our communities. And no matter how you look at it, the numbers and the stories behind them are impressive:
- The two schools generated $211 million in economic activity, or $140 million in GDP to the provincial economy in 2018.
- 1 in 280 jobs in Regina depends directly or indirectly on the Hill and Levene Schools of Business. That adds up to 475 jobs in Regina and 868 jobs province-wide.
- 1,722 students spent $10.1 million in Regina in 2018.
- 83% of Hill graduates in 2017-18 already had employment in place. 74% started work in their relevant fields of study.
These are the key findings of an Economic and Social Impact Study conducted by Economic Development Regina on behalf of the two schools.
"We were eager to collaborate with Economic Development Regina to measure the impact of what we do here at the Hill and Levene Schools of Business," said Dr. Gina Grandy, Dean of the Schools of Business. "The results reinforce what we intuitively know; not only do we educate our future leaders, but our activities also contribute to our local and provincial economies in a significant way as demonstrated in the report."
