Most Americans donât have a college degree. The latest data show that just 40 percent of Americans have finished an associateâs degree or above, while an additional 22 percent attended some college but failed to graduate. Among children born into low-income families in the early 1980s, under 10 percent had earned a four-year degree by age 25.
