Education
Brings Cash
More education still
means more household
income, according to a
1973 Census Bureau
survey.
Reported in Finance
.Facts, a monthly report
on consumer behavior
published by the National
Consumer Finance
Association, the survey
reveals that the
American household’s
income was an average
$12,157 in 1973.
For those households
headed by a breadwinner
with four or more years
of college, the mean
income was $19,042,
almost 57 percent more
than that of all
households. At the other
end of the spectrum, the
12.4 per cent of the
household heads with less
than eight years of school
completed has a mean
income of $6,885 or 43
percent less than that of
all households.
The largest group of
household heads was the
32.7 per cent who com
pleted their high school
educations. Their mean
income was 2.9 percent
above that of all
households.

plemented this very brief analysis of the Abbey’s new
