9/13/2006

According to a September 12, 2006 article from The Associated Press, U.S. students who drop out of high school suffer more severe financial consequences than do their peers in other industrialized countries. On average in the U.S., high school dropouts earn only 65% of the income received by those with a high school degree. The article is based on an annual study from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (Paris, France).
