A Stronger Nation: Learning beyond High School Builds American Talent. National Report 2019
Lumina Foundation
The nation faces an urgent and growing need for talent. To meet that need, many more people must earn college degrees, workforce certificates, industry certifications and other high-quality credentials. That is why Lumina Foundation works to ensure that, by 2025, 60 percent of Americans hold a credential beyond high school -- a quality credential that prepares people for informed citizenship and economic success. Lumina tracks the post-high school educational attainment of Americans ages 25-64. Since 2008, that figure has increased by 10 percentage points. That is progress, but it is not enough to reach 60 percent by 2025. Dramatic action is needed to meet the nation's need for talent. This report looks at the statistics to back up the progress that is needed looking at race and ethnicity, along with state-by-state educational attainment and comparisons.
