A Georgetown University report earlier this year concluded that Minnesota, Massachusetts and Colorado will lead the nation in the share of total jobs requiring post secondary education.
That's awesome if you finished college. The reality is some 37 million Americans attended college but never received a degree.
These are folks in Minnesota and around the country that we've been concerned about.
The Georgetown report notes, "Post secondary education and training determine access to the middle class. Those with only a high school diploma or less are falling out of the middle class."
