    This might be the highest-placing statistic for Mississippi I’ve seen so far

    This map correlates with industry or rather cost of living.

    You’re not living in NY or CA (unless you’re stuck and can’t move out) w/o a degree. and you’re more inclined to get one if you are working and want a better paying job.

    With lower CoL states, people can survive there with no higher education.

    Obviously outliers because it’s by % and since 9 people have degrees out of the 17 in ND and SD, it’s a higher %.

    West Virginia resident who lives near a college town (the irony) and has a bachelor’s, eastern panhandle definitely is more educated. Yeesh on the whole state.

    That map pretty much validates my expectations, except that I thought Minnesota was 2nd highest.

    Surprised how low Oregon ranks… down there in Ohio/Missouri/Michigan territory.

    An associate’s degree is the new high school diploma because high schools aren’t worth a lick anymore.

  7. Anyone else feel like this map is just amplifying noise? There is no functional difference between 45% with degrees and 50% with degrees but Texas is red while California is blue. Same with the difference between VT and NH. VT looks closer to MA in color when it’s closer to NH.

  8. New Mexico is short changed… Los Alamos has the highest concentration of PHDs in the nation

    Good ol Idaho….faith, family, freedom, and voting for more tax cuts for the rich….stupid gets what stupid is

  10. I am actually surprised Texas isn’t higher; with a pretty large oil and gas and manufacturing industry, plus R&D and engineering are growing as companies have been leaving California and New York for Texas.

    I’d like to see this map but where trade school certifications are included

  12. WV doesn’t surprise me as someone who was born into deep poverty and expected to accept that and carry it on.

    Anyway my son is going to college in the fall, a true first gen on both sides of the family 🥰

    I know it comes down to job type and companies in a respective area but whenever I see something like this, I’m always surprised it’s difficult for someone to find a job with a bachelor’s degree to your name. I certainly had my struggles for a year before finding something full-time in my field, even as I was willing to relocate.
