Abstract:
This report takes preschool education seriously as a state economic development program by measuring the effects of a high-quality universal preschool program on the economic development goals of more jobs and earnings of state residents. Universal preschool's effects on state residents' jobs and earnings over a 75-year period are compared with the effects of a program of economic development subsidies to businesses of the same cost.
