Post-Secondary Awards

- Every student stays in school and has the support needed to graduate high school ready for post-secondary completion and career success
About this measure

This measure outlines the number of post-secondary awards made within each county. It is not a measure of the awards received by residents of the County, but rather notes the county where the award was received. Comparative Analysis data is provided by the Ohio Department of Education, while county historical performance data is provided through JobsEQ.
Why is this important?

Completing a post-secondary education increases long term financial stability. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 2017 report, workers without high-school diplomas earned $24,000 annually; workers with high-school diplomas earned $30,500; workers who completed some college earned $31,900 and workers with a bachelor’s degree earned $49,900. Workers with a master’s degree or higher earned $59,200. 

Additionally, increasing the education of our workforce can have a positive effect on the ability of the County to attract and retain businesses.
