Report: Hospitals Pump $18 Billion Into N.J. Economy

Date:12/16/2008

Data Also Shows Nearly 145,000 TotalHospital Jobs

PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- New Jersey hospitals are a key economic engine for the state, providing more than 113,000 full-time jobs, $7 billion in employee salaries and more than $18 billion in total spending, according to the New Jersey Hospitals 2008 Economic Impact Report.

Hospitals have long been known for their societal contributions, including $1.3 billion in annual charity care services. But the new report from the New Jersey Hospital Association details the many economic contributions of New Jersey's hospitals and their employees. Those contributions are critical in a sagging economy.

"Hospitals are dependable sources of jobs, income taxes and spending through good times and bad," said NJHA President and CEO Betsy Ryan. "Even in a recession, individuals continue to depend on their community hospitals -- perhaps even more so as rising unemployment claims more individuals' health insurance."

The report's findings are based on 2007 hospital cost reports filed with the State of New Jersey. The report shows that New Jersey's acute care hospitals delivered:

$18 billion in total expenditures
$2.2 billion in purchased services
More than 113,000 full-time jobs and total employment of 145,000 full- and part-time positions.
More than $7 billion in total employee salaries
Nearly $400 million in state income taxes paid by hospital employees.
More than $72 million in state taxes and fees to support various health programs.

The report examines both hospitals' statewide contributions, as well as the economic contributions of individual hospitals to their local communities. A third analysis examines the data for New Jersey's 21 counties.
