Drink Deep: The Link Between Education and Productivity - Laura Stack, Huffington Post

In August 2013, the Economic Policy Institute--a think tank focused on economic issues--publicized one striking conclusion from its recent research: at the state level, the average worker's productivity increases as their education level increases. The EPI recommended that states support secondary education in every way possible, rather than just tempting large companies to invest in the state via tax incentives. The result of the latter practice, the Institute argued, has been a race for the bottom that's resulted in more but lower-paying, low-productivity jobs in the short term. Higher levels of education, on the other hand, result in higher productivity all around. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/laura-stack/drink-deep-the-link-betwe_b_5945900.html?ir=Business&utm_hp_ref=business
