Education's Impact on Decreasing Poverty
PLL believes that obtaining a high school education lays the essential foundation for success while pursuing a college education opens doors to endless opportunities, particularly for low-income minority individuals. Statistics consistently demonstrate the profound impact of education on poverty alleviation:
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2020, the median usual weekly earnings for individuals with a high school diploma were $781, compared to $1,305 for those with a bachelor's degree.
The Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce reports that individuals with a bachelor's degree earn 84% more over their lifetime compared to those with only a high school diploma.
Based on data from Georgetown University, looking at adults aged 25-64 who worked full-time annually from 2009 to 2019.
Data from the U.S. Census Bureau reveals that the poverty rate among individuals aged 25 and older with only a high school diploma was 12.1% in 2019, while for those with a bachelor's degree, it was significantly lower at 3.5%.
Poverty rate linked to education levels for adults aged 18-64 in 2019.
The National Center for Education Statistics highlights that individuals with higher levels of education are more likely to be employed and less likely to experience unemployment. In 2020, the unemployment rate for individuals aged 25 and older with a bachelor's degree or higher was 5.5%, compared to 8.6% for those with only a high school diploma.

Education not only enhances earning potential but also fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability, empowering individuals to navigate challenges and pursue their dreams.
