Economic Benefit of Postsecondary Degrees: A State and National Level Analysis

Th State Higher Education Executive Officers Association has released a new report,  the Economic Benefit of Postsecondary Degrees: A State and National Level Analysis, examining 1) trends in degree production in terms of median income associated with different degrees, 2) wage premiums associated with degree attainment across seven broad discipline categories, in effect, taking the national-level analyses down to the state level, and 3) comparisons in improvements in degree production to those fields that lead to higher incomes for graduates.

Here a few graphs from the report. I encourage you to download and read the entire report.
