Why This Indicator Matters
Graduating from high school and from college pays off in many ways, but especially in terms of life-long earnings. Workers with associate’s degrees earn appreciably more than high school graduates, and workers with bachelor’s degrees earn nearly twice what workers who have not attended college earn.
