That’s the message the university hopes to get out with a new report released Thursday. “This new report helps to further illustrate and quantify the consequential impact of the CSU on the Golden State,” Chancellor Joseph I. Castro said in a statement. 209,000 jobs are created each year as a result of Cal State spending. In 2018-2019, university spending, including operations, capital and student spending, totaled $17.5 billion. Alumni who were still working in 2019 earned $70.7 billion more than they would have without their Cal State degrees.
