Predicted Gaps in Skill Level between Four-Year Degree-Holders and Persons without a College Degree: Differences between Cohorts with 8 versus 40 percent College-Educated

Source: Annual Social and Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey: 1971 to 2010 (Flood et al. 2015).

Note: Findings are net of age (linear, squared, cubed), cohort (five-year dummy variables), year, marital status (married, never married, separated/widowed/divorced), race (white, black, Hispanic, other), metro area (central city, outside central city, not in metro area, not identifiable), census division, and interactions by race–cohort, marital status–cohort, census division–education, and census division–year. Predictions are for 27-year-old individuals who live in 1999, within a central city in the Mid-Atlantic census division, and are white and married.
