CEOs for Cities research indicates that 58% of a city’s success, as measured by per capita income, can be attributed to the percentage of the adult population with a college degree.
Did you know that if you raise college attainment in your city by
1%Pointyou can earn up to $143 billion
Each additional percentage point
improvement in aggregate adult four-year college
attainment is associated with an
$856increase in annual per capita income.
Increasing the college attainment rate by one percentage point in each of the 51 largest metropolitan areas would
be worth $143 billion in additional personal income for the nation each year.
We call this
The Talent Dividend.
Talent Dividend Prize$1 million awarded to the city that exhibits the greatest increase in the number of degrees granted per one-thousand population from 2009/10 to 2012/2013.
