Switzerland’s six federal institutes of technology account for 98,000 jobs and $14.24 billion in added value to the economy, according to a report by British consulting firm BiGGAR.

However, the estimated gross added value to the economy, is almost 4 times as much, at $14.24 billion.
The report also claims that another 100,000 jobs in Switzerland depend on the federal technology (ETH) domain, which means that each staff position is responsible for the creation of 5 more.
