As states and communities begin to look into ways they might engineer an economic turnaround, will regions where people are better educated have a leg up?
It’s an argument many publicly funded colleges may choose to make this year as they press their states for money. And now a new Web site from the Lumina Foundation — showing county-by-county data on the educational levels of adults — could help the institutions make that case.
The site includes state-by-state data on the educational levels of people who are between 25 and 34 years old. And for each state, it breaks the data down by county, which might prove particularly useful for community colleges eager to argue that state governments should invest more heavily in postsecondary education. —Goldie Blumenstyk
