Slowing Growth in Educational Attainment

Urvi Neelakantan and Jessica Sackett Romero

Richmond Fed Economic Brief, 2018, issue July

Abstract: Research suggests the economy's demand for college-educated workers exceeds the supply, which might be contributing to slower economic growth. Improving students' preparation at the K-12 level could both increase the college completion rate and help those who are not college-bound choose the best paths for themselves.
