Education Forward Arizona and the Helios Education Foundation recently released a report on the economic benefits of higher education in Arizona, which found that increasing levels of education had a positive financial impact at both the individual and state level.

The report, called “Billions to Gain: The Economic Benefits of Investing in a More Educated Arizona,” used a model to project how higher education would affect a cohort of Arizona public high school graduates (68,690 total) across their lifetime.
