Bachelor's degree attainment tops 30% for 1st time, nationally If anyone knows the percentages of Bachelor's degrees for Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, Russell and Taylor Counties, of Kentucky, could you share it with us? Report from U.S. Census In March 2011, for the first time ever, more than 30 percent of U.S. adults 25 and older had at least a bachelor's degree, the U.S. Census Bureau reported today. As recently as 1998, fewer than one-quarter of people this age had this level of education. From 2001 to 2011, the number of Hispanics with a bachelor's or higher education increased 80 percent from 2.1 million to 3.8 million. The percentage of Hispanics with a bachelor's or higher education increased from 11.1 percent in 2001 to 14.1 percent in 2011. Overall, the increase in the proportion of the population with a bachelor's degree or higher went from 26.2 percent to 30.4 percent. "This is an important milestone in our history," Census Bureau Director Robert Groves said. "For many people, education is a sure path to a prosperous life. The more education people have the more likely they are to have a job and earn more money, particularly for individuals who hold a bachelor's degree." This story was posted on 2012-02-24 05:14:39
