Nonmetro Youths Lagging in Education

Le résumé fourni par la source

Only 14 percent of nonmetro adults age 25-64 had a college degree in 1988, compared with 25 percent in metro areas, and nearly 25 percent of nonmetro adults had not graduated from high school. The lower levels of education in the nonmetro population result from both lower educational attainment among nonmetro "natives" and the net outmigration of nonmetro college graduates to take advantage of better job opportunities in the city. Since the mid-1970's, the percentage of nonmetro young adults who have completed high school has risen but the percentage of nonmetro college graduates has dropped.
