The graph compares unemployment rates and average weekly earnings across different educational levels in the year 2016. The information clearly illustrates that people with higher educational levels were better of economically than those with lower educational levels.
The first graph shows unemployment rates. There was a significant gap between those with the lowest educational and those with the highest. In 2016, unemployment for workers with a high school diploma only was at 5. 5 percent. This rate gradually decreased with each succeeding educational level. It was lowest among those with a graduate degree- only 1. 2 percent.
The second graph shows average weekly earnings. Again, the differences between the lower and higher educational levels are significant. In 2016, workers with a high school diploma earned an average of just $600 a week. The level of earnings increased with each educational level. Workers with a college degree earned an average of $1, 100 weekly, almost twice as much as the high school graduates. The workers with graduate degrees earned almost half again as much as the workers with college degrees. These graphs show that it pays to get an education.
