Hi! I read an article by Joseph E. Stiglitz today in which he claims the following:
"And with wages of those who have only a high school diploma at 62 percent of the typical college grad’s earnings—compared with 81 percent in 1965—the prospects are they will be poorer than their parents."
Here's a link to the article: The Myth of America’s Golden Age - POLITICO Magazine
Of course this doesn't take into account the costs of a college education, but I'm surprised to see that the pay gap between employees with college- vs. high school degrees has grown so much in the last 50 years.
