Meanwhile, real wages of high school dropouts have declined by 25 percent. If these trends are drawn out to the year 2015, the results are even more devastating. Male workers with only a high school education will have lost 38 percent of what comparable male workers earned in 1976. And those without a high school diploma will have lost 52 percent in real earnings over the same period. If the U.S. economy continues to place a high value on a college-educated workforce, then only college graduates will be able to hold their own economically out to 2015.
