I have decided to explore the correlation of poverty and education through case studies. Education is a major contributing factor to the type of job that a person acquires. Higher level education leads to more prestigious jobs and opportunities. People who have graduated college tend to have better paying jobs that require them to think abstractly. However, those who have had only some high school education are usually only hired for low-end jobs that do not have much prestige. These people to get paid much lower than people who have college degrees. The group of people that has had little education is also the group that is most likely to live in poverty.
Therefore, I will look through the online data collected by the Census Bureau about poverty and the possible factors that contribute to it.
