Keep in mind that 44.4% apparently are at least Associates Degrees, not Bachelors Degrees.TC Talks wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 11:03 amThis is good news! A more educated nation means we will continue to grow in a global economy.

In the Census Bureau’s most recent 2022 findings, the percentage of people with a bachelor’s degree or higher remained stable from the previous year at around 37.7%. Americans are still prioritizing college and doing so in record numbers. When accounting for children, the percentage of Americans with college degrees is at a healthy 31.3%. That percentage translates to more than 104 million Americans with degrees.
