College Education as a Powerful Incubator of Social and Emotional Development
Abstract
National reports on employment show that achieving college education is one of the most impactful steps that an individual can take toward steady work and increased income. During the darkest moment of the last great recession, employment for bachelor’s degree graduates over age 25 remained at 95 percent. Today, employment for bachelor’s degree graduates over age 25 has climbed to 97.9 percent. The median lifetime earnings net of educational expenses for college graduates stand at a significant premium -- a more than $400,000 gain -- compared to those of learners who only complete high school.
