Our report, “The Golden Ticket,” finds that achieving a 70% postsecondary attainment rate across all demographic groups in California would result in $4.4 trillion in net monetary gains for the state and its residents over the next 50 years. https://t.co/BuG9OL6QDO

Despite almost 40 years of continuous reforms in the K–12 system, there has been relatively little progress in making high school students college- and career-ready—only 52% of high school sophomores attain a postsecondary credential within 10 years. https://t.co/prq7y9N8D7

Though graduate school has historically been a good option for those who cannot find work, the state of the job market could mean that option is narrowing. Read more: @insidehighered https://t.co/YVhuwmaxHm

Among institutions that primarily award bachelor’s degrees, public institutions generally lead to the highest #ROI for these students during a 40-year timeframe. https://t.co/cZQhB5nITL

We need a system that results in equitable outcomes for students and gives them info about college and career choices. Low-income students have the deck stacked against them. We need to correct this deficit and move toward an all-one-system approach. https://t.co/cZQhB5nITL

Low-income students have lower #ROI than the median for all students across public and private institutions and certificates, associate’s degrees, and bachelor’s degrees, largely because they tend to earn less as adults. Read more: https://t.co/cZQhB5nITL

Today is National Black Women’s Equal Pay Day. Black women earn significantly less on the dollar relative to white men. We need to remedy this disparity by addressing discrimination in the workforce. #EqualPay

CEW’s Jeff Strohl joined the Future Trends Forum with @BryanAlexander to discuss our recent report, “Rethinking Underemployment: Are College Graduates Using Their Degrees?” Watch here: https://t.co/c5LbISjiC3

Our report, “The Colleges Where Low-Income Students Get the Highest #ROI,” finds that overall, low-income students get the best financial returns from attending public institutions, where costs are generally lower. https://t.co/cZQhB5nITL

Institutional transitions have become a big part of the shortcomings of youth policy, leading to inadequate educational and workforce outcomes, especially among racial and ethnic minority youth and low-income youth. We can and should do much better. https://t.co/prq7y9N8D7

The current education-to-workforce pipeline is fraught with class and racial inequalities. These disparities in the education and training pipeline have a major impact on inequities in the workforce. https://t.co/prq7y9N8D7

CEW analysis finds that if Californian’s reached the 70% attainment goal by earning only non-degree credentials—such as certificates, certifications, and occupational licenses—or only associate’s degrees, the anticipated impact would be about $4 trillion: https://t.co/BuG9OL6QDO

In the trajectory from kindergarten to a good job, the most talented disadvantaged youth do not fare nearly as well as the least talented advantaged youth. We need sweeping reforms that better serve young people: https://t.co/prq7y9N8D7

The US has the second largest economy in the world and one of the most productive workforces.

We track Economic Output and Productivity as key indicators of economic strength and long-term growth.

Young people have been hit particularly hard in the three recessions since the turn of the millennium, and the share of youth ages 16 to 21 who are working is now 14 percentage points lower than it was in 2000. https://t.co/prq7y9N8D7

The US faces a projected annual shortage of 712,000 relevant certificates and associate’s degrees for high-paying middle-skills jobs through at least 2032. To combat the shortage, we should work to close the middle-skills gap. More from @FastCompany: https://t.co/jyZs665HXd

If youth policy is meant to assist young people as they run the gauntlet from preschool to good jobs, it has failed miserably. The signs of its failures prove a need for a paradigm shift. Could an all-one-system approach do the job? https://t.co/prq7y9N8D7

[Georgetown CEW @GeorgetownCEW]

CEW projects that in California, six of 12 groups of working-age adults analyzed will fall short of the 70% postsecondary attainment goal in 2035, including Hispanic/Latino individuals, low-income Californians, and older adults already in the workforce. https://t.co/BuG9OL6QDO

Opinion: The degree you’ve earned is something that still opens doors, even if the first one takes longer to push open. https://t.co/ct0bcvlck1

To fully support youth on the journey from birth to adulthood, we need to provide inclusive, culturally responsive, data-informed support and guidance. An all-one-system approach has the potential to provide this to our country’s youth and young adults: https://t.co/prq7y9N8D7

Cost has become a substantial barrier for young people who wish to pursue a degree or credential. It used to be possible to work one’s way through #college; today, college costs are too high—and young people’s wages too low—for that to be feasible. https://t.co/prq7y9N8D7
