The earnings gap

Well, duh:

Adults who don't finish high school in the U.S. earn 65 percent of what people who have high school degrees make, according to a new report comparing industrialized nations. No other country had such a severe income gap.

Though the report is mostly negative -- the earnings gap between graduates and non-graduates is higher here than in any other industrialized country -- there is a positive way to look at it: Nowhere else on earth are the rewards of education greater.
