Successful School Business Partnerships

     The U.S. unemployment rate in February of 8.1 percent was the highest in almost 25 years.  The jobless rate among those without a high school diploma was 12.6 percent!  

     A nationwide Census Bureau survey in 2007 for American workers, age 25 and older, gave the following alarming information regarding median yearly income:

     - Without a high school diploma $19,405

     - High school graduate (includes equivalency certification) $26,894

     -  Some college or associate degree $32,874

     - Bachelor's degree $46,805

     - Graduate or professional degree $61,287

     It is alarming to realize that we have more than a 25 percent dropout rate in this country!
