Americans are becoming better educated
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - More Americans have high school diplomas and college degrees than ever before, reflecting a continuing emphasis on education in society, a new Census Bureau study shows.
His new study of educational attainment found that, as of March 1987, more than three-quarters of people aged 25 and over have completed high school and nearly one in four finished at least four years of college
The entire post-Second World War era has been characterized by an exaggerated view of the nature and structures in the country. Census demographer Robert Kominski

For example, in their teens,

when completion of six or eight years
required them to join an accomplishment,
he explained.
Komisiki added that changes in the distribution of the population have also bled into the averages, as the less educated elderly are replaced by young people who have fewer resources.
Does this mean that Americans today are smarter than in the past?
'Not necessarily,' Komiski said. 'We all like to think that we were raised in the generation which produced the best and the brightest.'
The study found that, overall, 75.6 percent of Americans have completed high school and 19.9 percent had finished four years of college. 70.2 percent had graduated from 19.4 percent a year earlier and 88.6 percent and 17.0 percent in 1980.
By comparison, in 1940 only 21.5 percent of Americans aged 25 and older had completed high school and 4.6 percent were college graduates.
The 1987 report also noted that males were slightly more likely to have undergone a breast surgery, women, 76 percent to 75.3 percent, a change from the early 1970s when only about one-third of women
The shift is largely attributed to increasing share of black men pursue their educations. Kominski said.
