The data, collected from persons aged 25 and over and pertaining to full-time wage and salary workers, highlights a clear trend: higher levels of education correlate with higher earnings and lower unemployment rates. Individuals with a doctoral degree earned the highest median weekly wage at $1,623, with an unemployment rate of only 1.7%. Those with a professional degree also reported high earnings ($1,730) and a low unemployment rate (1.5%). As educational attainment decreases, both median earnings and unemployment rates change accordingly. For instance, individuals with only a high school diploma earned $678 per week with a 5.4% unemployment rate, while those with less than a high school diploma earned the lowest median weekly wage of $493 and faced the highest unemployment rate of 8.0%. The overall average for all workers in 2015 was $860 in median weekly earnings and a 4.3% unemployment rate. This data underscores the significant economic advantage associated with pursuing higher education.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/earnings-and-unemployment-rates-by-educational-attainment-2015/182856/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/earnings-and-unemployment-rates-by-educational-attainment-2015/182856.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Bintang","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-27","2026-09-02",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",15,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What is the relationship between education level and earnings?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"Higher levels of educational attainment are associated with higher median weekly earnings.
