[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uh, a good chunk of Americans are under 22 (>30%) and a small chunk predate "everyone" going to college. So what you're really saying is about 10-20% of the current workforce doesn't have a college degree.  And my response is, it doesn't take a college degree to repair my home, fix my car, fold clothes, or work at a restaurant.  [/quote]

It's 35% of American over 25 that have Bachelor degrees.  I do concur, you need to also rule out those over 60ish, as that generation did not attend college at similar rates as currently.

DC is highest for both Bachelors and advanced degrees.  That makes sense.  It's a small population and majority working for the government have college degrees +

The rest is Northeastern US and then Washington, Minnesota, Illinois, and so on.  It goes about exactly as you would expect.  The south and the smaller populated states (outside of NH, Vermont) have lower numbers.
