More women are graduating college than men, and are out-earning mean in college degrees. Only 10.5 million men (25-year old adults and older) have a master’s degree or higher; for women, this number is 10.6 million. Women began to outnumber men in this aspect in the year 1996. Today, this gap is widening. Because of receiving a higher education, women receive more opportunities than ever before to enter into the workforce. Keeping women in the workforce produces a positive effect on our economy—they help our country’s GDP, create and keep successful companies and businesses running, and as a spending decision, and use their money to help the future United States economy.
