Education pays ...
Education pays in higher earnings and lower unemployment rates
Note: Data are for persons age 25 and over. Earnings are for full-time wage and salary workers.
These education categories reflect only the highest level of education attained. They do not take into account completion of training programs in the form of apprenticeships and other on-the-job training, which may also influence earnings and unemployment rates. For more information on training, see: http://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_table_education_summary.htm and http://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_table_education_by_train.htm.
