Lifetime Earnings
Higher In County
(Special tn The News-Journal)
NEW YORK How much
money Is the average young
man in Hoke County likely to
make in his lifetime, consider
ing the economic environment
in which he lives, his educa
tional background and other fac
tors? According to recent studies,
the average 20-year-old, start
ing out now, has the prospect
of earning approximately $152,
000 before lie retires, some 45
years hence.
rhat amount is subject to con
ditions remaining as they are
at present with respect to wae
scales, cost of living and the
like.
The measure of how much a
man is worth these days, in
terms of earning capacity, is
based upon studies made by the
Department of Commerce, the
Institute of Life Insurance, and
others.
A major factor in such a
determination is education, it
is pointed out.
From that standpoint, the
Hoke County resident is in a
I
V
favorable position because the
educational level in Hoke is
higher than in many sections
of the country and is rising
steadily.
According to the latest gov
ernment statistics, about 9.6
per cent of the local male popu
lation over the ae of 25 has
gone through elementary
school, another 11.6 per cent
has graduated from high
school, and 4.1 per cent has
had four years or more of col
lege. It indicates that in Hoke Coun
ty, there has been a marked
gain in educational attainment
in recent years.
At the present time, the me
dian amount of schooling being
acquired by Hoke men is about
8.4 years.
The Life Insurance Institute's
figures show that ttie current
differential between a high
school graduate and an elemen
tary school graduate is about
$34,000 in lifetime income.
Similarly, the college grad
uate has the likelihood of mak
ing $1 11,000 more than the man
with only a high school diploma.
