32 Million Adults Without a High School Diploma

A high school diploma is the passport to participation in today’s labor market

As the number of jobs requiring some form of education beyond high school continues to grow, people without a high school diploma are falling even farther behind:

- 2 out of 3 adults without a high school diploma are low income
- Adults without a high school diploma earn 70% less than those who have graduated
- A child is twice as likely to drop out of school if a parent does not graduate

%

of all jobs in the United States require education beyond high school
