The chart from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) displays data on median weekly earnings and unemployment rates by educational attainment in the United States. Here are some observations:

Earnings Disparities: The chart clearly illustrates the significant earnings disparities between individuals with different levels of educational attainment. Generally, higher levels of education are associated with higher median weekly earnings. This is consistent with the idea that higher education levels often lead to better job opportunities and higher-paying jobs.

Unemployment Rates: Another striking feature of the chart is the inverse relationship between educational attainment and unemployment rates. Individuals with higher levels of education tend to experience lower unemployment rates compared to those with lower levels of education. This underscores the importance of education in increasing employability and reducing the risk of unemployment.

Educational Attainment Trends: The data also reveal interesting trends in educational attainment. For instance, individuals with a bachelor's degree or higher consistently have lower unemployment rates and higher earnings compared to those with lower levels of education. However, there's variability within each educational category, suggesting that factors such as field of study and specific skills also play a role in employment outcomes.

Overall, the chart highlights the strong relationship between education, earnings, and employment outcomes in the United States. It underscores the importance of investing in education and skills development to improve economic opportunities and outcomes for individuals and society as a whole.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With Americans less optimistic about the state of the U.S. economy than they have been in recent months and concern about inflation persisting, their confidence in President Joe Biden to recommend or do the right thing for the economy is among the lowest Gallup has measured for any president since 2001.

No shite Sherlock. Work hard in school, get good grades, pursue a good major in college and you will do better.

How about underscoring the importance of self discipline, good parents, and having a good work ethic and not trash these as white traits or say stupid things like math is racist.

Welp I’m convinced. Sounds like no reason to be bailing them out from under their student loans.

No one anywhere disagrees with this.

What all reasonable people disagree with is spending money on an education system that is no longer designed to educate.

So your saying we should build an economy on 4 year stem degrees and burger flippers.

Well I think we were better off when we made things and had decent paying manufacturing jobs.

On a roll tonight. Are you seeking some sort of validation? I guess it’s cheaper getting it on here than shelling out extra to your gigolo.

Not at all, and I’m not sure how you got that from my post. I believe quite the opposite, in fact.

Schools should teach actual, useful skills along with a traditional curriculum. American schools haven’t done that in decades.

Great.
Proof that we don't need to "forgive" student loans.
