Abstract: This report highlights trends in educational attainment among rural Americans and the relationship between educational attainment and economic prosperity for rural people and places. Educational attainment is growing in rural America. However, gains in educational attainment vary across demographic groups. Low education in rural areas is closely related to high poverty and unemployment rates.
