FEWER WAYNE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES GO TO COLLEGE
(Wayne County, IN)--Some state leaders questioned Monday how a declining percentage of high school graduates going to college will affect the labor market. Those opinions differed, especially with a shortage of people working trade jobs like plumbing and HVAC. State numbers show that Wayne County also has a steadily declining percentage of students going on to college. In 2010, 69% of Wayne County graduates took at least some college courses. By 2020, it had dropped to 56%. Now, it’s down to 49%.
