Just looking at this chart should be definitive for anyone questioning the value of education. Those who did not finish high school have an unemployment rate of 8.1%. Yikes. That is tough. High school graduates have 4.7% unemployment, which is quite a bit lower, but college graduates only have 2.3% unemployment.
