Linnea Endersby provided excellent research assistance.  \nEdResearch for Recovery-March 2022 1  \nEdResearch  \nFor Recovery  \n~~  ~~BREAKING~~ ~~DOWN~~ ~~THE~~ ~~ISSUE~~  ~~  \nThe United States has several thousand colleges and universities and at least as many grants, scholarships, and loans that help cover the cost to attend. This bewildering array of options is further complicated for students by anxiety about taking on debt, and, for students those on the fence about going to college at all, a welcoming job market.  \nOn average, a college education translates into higher earnings and non-monetary benefits that recover the upfront investment of time and money, but the pandemic has disrupted many students’ plans for college.  \n Jobs requiring a college degree have higher annual wages and are less likely to be replaced by advancing technology. College-educated workers also have more stable employment during recessions.  \n Today, most industries have more job openings than job seekers. The high school class of 2022 will likely have an easier time finding jobs, and with higher pay, than high school graduates from one or two years ago. But college graduates also have rising pay and low unemployment rates (2.2% in February 2022). Just 20% of midcareer jobs with salaries of at least $45,000 go to workers without a college education.  \n From fall 2019 to fall 2021 , postsecondary enrollment fell 5% overall—2.3% in four-year public and nonprofit universities and 13% in","cbCaiaiuXONguTTw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaiuXONguTTw","pdf",438733,"English","# Helping Students Make Informed Choices About College\n## Central Question\n## Key Insights: Breaking Down the Issue\n## Strategies to Consider and Strategies to Avoid","[{\"question\":\"What central question does the brief address?\",\"answer\":\"How can schools and districts help students make well-informed choices about college?\"},{\"question\":\"How has the pandemic affected students’ plans for college?\",\"answer\":\"The pandemic disrupted many students’ plans for college even though college education generally leads to higher earnings and benefits.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of support can improve college enrollment and application completion?\",\"answer\":\"Providing greater access to college counselors, setting aside time during the school day for applications, tracking progress, and facilitating targeted outreach and support can increase students’ likelihood of completing the process.\"}]","EdResearch for Recovery - Brief 23 - Helping Students Make Informed Choices About College | PDF",1792048428,15]
