Investing in Cartwright = Strong Economics for Our Future
Higher Earnings
College graduates still enjoy higher earnings than the average U.S. worker. The U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) reports that in 2022, bachelor’s degree holders took home a median wage of $1,432
per week, while workers with just a high school diploma earned only $853.
That’s a difference of 68%.
