TGHusker Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I thought this was kind of amazing Calif and Texas lead the way as the least educated states - based on % of population that had 9th grade or higher education. Perhaps due to the influx of immigrants who flow into those states. https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/least-educated-state-california-no-1-percentage-residents-25-and Quote California ranks No. 1 among the 50 states for the percentage of its residents 25 and older who have never completed ninth grade and 50th for the percentage who have graduated from high school, according to new data from the Census Bureau. Texas ranks No. 2 for the percentage of its residents 25 and older who have never completed ninth grade and 49th for the percentage who have graduated from high school. 9.7 percent of California residents 25 and older, the Census Bureau says, never completed ninth grade. Only 82.5 percent graduated from high school. 8.7 percent of Texas residents 25 and older never completed ninth grade, and only 82.8 percent graduated from high school. Link to comment

A lot of teachers in CO (especially in Denver) have second jobs just to pay their monthly bills. Link to comment
