Impact of Education Gaps
• Metro areas with larger “education gaps”—shortages of educated workers relative to employer demand—had consistently higher unemployment rates than other metro areas from 2005 to 2011.
• Metro areas with larger education gaps exhibit greater differences in unemployment rates between highly educated and less educated workers.
