Causey, J.; Gardner, A.; Pevitz, A.; Ryu, M.; Shapiro, D. – National Student Clearinghouse, 2023
Nearly all states in the United States (45) currently have a postsecondary attainment goal to improve the average education levels of their residents and develop a highly-educated workforce.

Analyses of NLSY79 indicate that…
