Description
NordstrandBlack PC believes the most effective anti-poverty program is a good education. A number of studies actually confirm that, on average, today’s college graduates will earn over a million dollars more during the course of their lifetime than their peers who only have a high school diploma. Additional statistics show that college graduates are half as likely to be unemployed, and 87% of people holding a bachelor’s degree achieve financial well-being .
