Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what percentage of the US population holds a bachelor's degree? I want to get an idea of how common obtaining a four-year degree is nowadays. Thanks!
As of 2022, approximately 37.7% of the U.S. adult population (aged 25 and older) holds a bachelor's degree. It's important to note that this percentage can vary over time as more individuals pursue higher education and complete their degrees. Keep in mind that the proportion of adults with a bachelor's degree can differ by factors such as age group, geographic location, and demographic background.
