For the first time ever, the number of U.S. adults with bachelor’s degrees has surpassed 30 percent. But new data shows the higher education gap between Latinos and other ethnic groups is getting wider.
In 2001, 11 percent of all U.S. Latinos over the age of 25 had bachelor’s degrees. By last year, that number had grown to 14 percent.
But that 3 percent growth was smaller than other major ethnic groups, according to recently released data by the U.S. Census Bureau.
