Education, Earnings and Unemployment

The idea

Education pays, in both earnings and employment. In twenty twenty-two, median annual earnings were about seventy-four thousand dollars with a bachelor's degree, fifty-two thousand with an associate's degree, forty-four thousand with a high-school diploma only, and thirty-five thousand without one. Unemployment ran in the opposite order: about two percent with a bachelor's, nearly three with an associate's, three and a half with some college, four with high school, and five and a half without a diploma.
