College Board Executive Summary Statistics• Median earnings of bachelor’s degree recipients with no advanced degree working full time in 2011 were
$56,500, $21,100 more than median earnings of high school graduates. Individuals with some college but no degree earned 14% more than high school graduates working full time. Their median after-tax earnings were 13% higher (Figure 1.1).
• Compared to a high school graduate, the median four-year college graduate who enrolls at age 18 and graduates in four years can expect to earn enough by age 36 to compensate for being out of the labor force for four years, as well as for borrowing the full amount required to pay tuition and fees without any grant assistance (Figure 1.3).
• The 2012 unemployment rate for four-year college graduates ages 25 to 34 was 7.1 percentage points below that for high school graduates. The unemployment rates for those with associate degrees and with some college but no degree were 4.0 and 1.6 percentage points below that for high school graduates, respectively (Figure 1.9B).
• As workers age, earnings rise more rapidly for those with higher levels of education. For example, the gap between the earnings of full-time workers whose highest degree is a bachelor’s degree and those of high school graduates grows from 54% ($15,200) for 25- to 29-year-olds to 86% ($32,000) for 45- to 49-year-olds (Figure 1.7A).
