New Georgetown study proves higher education investment pays off

The investment that the U.S.A. made in mid-20th century paid off in preparing a new generation of workers that would be ready for the knowledge-based economies of the 21st century. While this study (conducted by Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce) is of the impact within the U.S.A., the implications for higher education around the world are undeniable. In fact, the impact in developing economies may be even more dramatic as capacity is built for the jobs of the future.
