"The U.S. has fallen from first in the world in the proportion of adults that hold two- or four-year college degrees to fourth. Even more worrisome is that, among young adults -- those between the ages of 25 and 34, the U.S. is no better than tied for 10th, and now trails nations in Asia, Europe and the Americas. Each year for at least the past four, the U.S. has fallen in these comparisons. In almost all other developed nations, attainment rates are increasing -- in many cases dramatically and to levels significantly above ours. As a result, ours is one of the very few nations in the world in which younger adults are not better educated than older adults."
Interesting to note those states with the lowest percentage of college degrees. Why am I not surprised? There seems to be a pattern here.
Now you know this was coming!
Sorry about the red state / blue state notation. This country is divided enough as it is! Hey! It is what it is! Thanks teabaggers!
