Holger Preuss in his book ''The Economics of Staging the Olympics: A Comparison of the Games 1972–2008'' argues that "The export of the 'Olympic Games' service results in an inflow of funds to the host city, causing additional production which, in its turn, leads to employment and income effects."<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GQzccu2Qw-oC&q=%22inflow+of+funds%22 |title=The Economics of Staging the Olympics: A Comparison of the Games 1972–2008 |isbn=978-1-8-4376-893-7 |last=Preuss |first=Holger |year=2004 |publisher=Edward Elgar |page=36 |access-date=May 3, 2021 |archive-date=March 8, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240308183132/https://books.google.com/books?id=GQzccu2Qw-oC&q=%22inflow+of+funds%22#v=snippet&q=%22inflow%20of%20funds%22&f=false |url-status=live }}</ref> According to the study "2002 Olympic Winter Games, Economic, Demographic and Fiscal Impacts", the estimated creation of new job years of employment was 35,424, and additional earnings of $1,544,203,000.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://digitallibrary.utah.gov/awweb/awarchive?type=file&item=12491 |title=2002 Olympic Winter Games – Economic, Demographic and Fiscal Impacts |date=November 2000 |publisher=State of Utah, Governor's Office of Planning and Budget |website=digitallibrary.utah.gov |pages=4, 14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210428145956/https://digitallibrary.utah.gov/awweb/awarchive?type=file&item=12491 |archive-date=April 28, 2021 |url-status=live |access-date=April 28, 2021}}</ref> It was noted that the increase of Olympic related job started in 1996 and continued until 2003. These effects can be estimated on the ground of historical relationship between job and corresponding population growth. A lot of people migrated into the future place of the [[Olympic Games]] for expanding and favorable employment opportunities that the Olympics ensured. Although residents occupied many of the higher paying jobs created by the Games, many of the vacated jobs were filled by immigrants who relocated for the better employment opportunities.

Basically, the immigration rate was even larger because the employees immigrated with their families. The additional people paid diverse taxes and fees from their income, creating additional revenue on the state and local levels.
