People with Some Post-Secondary Education

County: Bay
Measurement Period: 2018-2022
Filter: none (all Counties)
This indicator shows the percentage of people aged 25-44 years with some post-secondary education, such as enrollment in vocational/technical schools, junior colleges, or four-year colleges. It includes individuals who pursued education following high school but did not receive a degree.
 
 

Why is this important?

For many, pursuing higher education is the key to a better life. The college experience develops cognitive skills, and allows learning about a wide range of subjects, people, cultures, and communities. Having a degree also opens up career opportunities in a variety of fields, and is often the prerequisite to a higher-paying job. It is estimated that college graduates earn about $1 million more per lifetime than their non-graduate peers.
