IGA 2024 Annual Report - Digital

FEDERAL, STATE & COUNTY TAXES Federal, State, and local taxes lay claim to a substantial portion of income generated within the United States, constituting approximately one-third of the total. Increases in economic activity serve to expand the tax base and subsequently augment government revenues. Indian Gaming, with its creation of 670,106 jobs nationwide, significantly contributes to this economic activity. The wages associated with these jobs not only generate federal, state, and local payroll and income taxes but also play a role in reducing welfare payments and unemployment benefits, thereby freeing up additional government revenue for allocation to other purposes. In 2023, wages paid to employees of Indian Gaming amounted to $8,554,851,690. Additionally, the economic ripple effect stemming from Indian Gaming employees’ spending of their disposable incomes, gaming operation purchases, capital spending, and transfer payments to Tribal Governments generated an additional $27,516,933,214 in wages
