Amos, Jason. “Unemployment Rate For High School Dropouts Soars in Latest Government Jobs Report.” Alliance For Excellent Education Unemployment Rate For High School Dropouts Soars in Latest Government Jobs Report Comments. N.p., 08 Oct. 2010. Web. 01 Aug. 2014.

In this article the data that was used was from a research done by a licensed third party in order to register the unemployment rates for a three years gap between 2007 and the year 2010. The research examines unemployment rates by level of education completion across a US national average.

 

Anderson, Marie. “High School Dropouts Vs. Unemployment.” Everyday Life. Global Post, n.d. Web. 01 Aug. 2014.

            The article references research performed by “Alliance for excellent education” and provides little data but concludes that while unemployment is always highest for the less educated, the gap between the various levels stays relatively similar and that it is other external factors and not your education degree level that has the highest impact on your chances of employment.

Research done by Weber (1988) in regard to dropouts attempted to establish if increased number of vocational credits toward high school diplomas would deter students from dropping out of school. In this research Weber conducted an analysis of different aspects from the National Center of Educational Statistics High School. The results showed that the dropout rate for the academic student was significantly less than the dropout rate for the vocational student.

 

Peng and Takai (1983) showed the complexity of the dropout dilemma using the High School and Beyond (HSB) longitudinal data. A key finding of Peng and Takai was that most of the dropouts reported they regretted their decisions to leave school early. Within a two- year period after dropping out, the participants in the study reported unemployment in addition to poor job satisfaction because of being trapped in low-paying jobs.

 

McCaul (1989) used data from the National Center of Educational Statistics’ High School and Beyond (HSB) study to identify some of the consequences of dropping out of school. More specifically, the study looked at salary for current job, work satisfaction, extent of unemployment, and number of jobs held.

 

Almost 600 dropouts participated in all four areas of the HSB study as well as over 1,300 graduates.Analysis revealed that dropouts reported lower work satisfaction, changed jobs more often, and experienced longer periods of unemployment as compared to the high school graduates.

 

 

Methodology

Though it appears a thorough state by state test has not been performed to the level desired, the analysis from the data from the various research articles and the actual test research they reference all conclude that the unemployment rate does affect whether people attend or stay in school, but the swing affects high school dropouts and master degree holders all the same with just a difference in baseline unemployment. There was no found research indicating that the lack of positions filled due to qualifications has significant weight in whether or not people complete college and only a slight impact on their field of study. For the most part, Americans pursue the field they are most interested in and not the highest in demand.

 

Conclusion

This research looks at the unemployment rates on a specific scale looking state by state at the unemployment rates, then examining the high school and college graduation rates, including the graduates field of study. It examines the amount of open jobs that went unfilled for the same period of time due to not having the qualified persons available for the positions. The timeline will be examined year-by-year dating back from 2012-20087as results for 2013 are not completely available. Based on the findings of the research sources found to be valid and in the time frame desired.  This research finds sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that education levels have the highest impact on unemployment rates for the past five years.

There was no discovered exploration showing that the absence of positions filled because of capabilities has huge weight in regardless of whether individuals complete school and just a slight effect on their field of study. Generally, Americans seek after the field they are most keen on and not the most astounding popular.

 

Conclusion
