Title:Economic outcomes of high school completers and non-completers 8 years later
Source:http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2007/2007019.pdf
Date:2006
Organization:National Center for Education Statistics
Short Description:Compares the economic outcomes of high school completers at three different points in time with the outcomes of individuals who did not complete high school.
Annotation:This report compares the economic outcomes of high school completers at three different points in time with the outcomes of individuals who did not complete high school. Differences by sex and the type of credential earned are also examined. The findings suggest that individuals who completed high school within 6 years generally had more favorable economic outcomes than their counterparts who completed high school later or not at all. However, differences in economic outcomes were most prominent between males and females even after controlling for the timing and type of high school credential earned.
