This spreadsheet explores the relationships between two measures of educational attainment in states with a variety of economic measures of individual and family welfare in those states.
The educational attainment measures for each state are: 1) the proportion of people 25 and over with at least a high school diploma, and 2) the proportion of the population age 25 and over with at least a bachelor's degree from college. These data are available for most years between 1989 and 2007. The correlations with high school graduation are highest with the employed/population ratio, poverty rate and median household income. The correlations with college graduation are highest with per capita personal income and median household income. 12/1/2007

Private Economic Benefit/Cost Ratios of College Investment for Men and Women, 1966 to 2000
This Excel spreadsheet derives ratios of economic benefits to costs from a college investment decision for men and women over the period between 1966 and 2000.
The economic benefits of a college education is the annual income differential between a person with a bachelor's degree and another person with a high school diploma, multiplied by 40 years to approximate a working lifetime between ages 25 and 64. The cost of a college education is annual institutional charges--tuition, fees, room and board--multiplied by 4 years. The resulting ratios show high private returns to men and women, and that these returns have held up well over the last three decades. 7/28/2002
