    The College Pay Off
    Carnevale, Anthony P.; Cheah, Ban; Rose, Stephen J. (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2011-11-01)
    In this report, the authors examine just what a college degree is worth–and what else besides a degree might influence an individual’s potential earnings. This report illustrates lifetime earnings for all education levels and earnings by occupation, age, race/ethnicity and gender. The data show that a college degree is a key economic opportunity, conferring substantially higher earnings for those with educational credentials in comparison with those without them.

    The Undereducated American
    Carnevale, Anthony P.; Rose, Stephen J. (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2014-11-01)
    The United States has been underproducing college-educated workers for decades. The undersupply of postsecondary-educated workers has led to both inefficiency and inequity. Adding 20 million additional postsecondary-educated workers over the course of the next 15 years will help us meet the economy’s need for efficiency and reduce income inequality.
