Surprising News About Young Adults and Education, Employment

There is a huge gender gap in educational attainment for young U.S. adults, according to a recent report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. While nearly one in four women had earned a bachelor's degree by their 23rd year, only one in seven men had done the same. Women were also less likely than men at age 23 to be high-school dropouts or high-school graduates not enrolled in college.
