The following New York Times article (subscription required) by Michael Greenstone and Adam Looney lays out the data connecting annual earnings and educational attainment. In particular, the article notes the diverging fortunes of men and women in the workforce since 1970. Additionally, support is povided for the intuitive assertion that "education reduces unemployment and increases earnings."
We want to hear from you! Does educational attainment still have the same ability to impact earnings? What will the referenced graphs look like in 40 years? Please leave comments below.
