Better Schools can create growth in rural areas
study conducted by
researchers at Penn State University found
that rural counties with a 1-percentagepoint
higher share of adults with a high
school diploma reported $128 more per
capita income, even after adjusting for
other characteristics that affect income,
such as infrastructure, industry structure,
and degree of urbanization.
