Washington, DC…The U.S. Census Bureau announced the release of a new report that examines characteristics of the U.S. population with bachelor\u2019s degrees. The report, Bachelor\u2019s Degree Attainment in the United States: 2005 to 2019<\/a>, is based on statistics from the\u00a0American Community Survey<\/a>\u00a0(ACS). Since 2010, the ACS has published estimates based on five years of data for geographic areas down to the census tract and block-group levels. For the first time ever, these estimates are available for three consecutive, nonoverlapping periods (2005-2009, 2010-2014, and 2015-2019), providing trend data for small population groups and geographies covering a combined 15-year period.<\/p>\n

Bachelor\u2019s degrees are important markers of progress for both individuals and society. People with a bachelor\u2019s degree typically have higher lifetime earnings, lower odds of unemployment, and better health outcomes than those without one. The report presents findings for all race groups and national and county-level changes in bachelor\u2019s degree attainment in the United States from 2005-2009 to 2015-2019.<\/p>\n
