Abstract: In particular, this report focuses on college education. A college education is often considered a critical job prerequisite, necessary to secure higher earnings. On average, college graduates earn 80% more than high school graduates (The Economist, April 23, 2016). Higher education is also critical to innovation. Lastly, there is an entrepreneurial sweet spot at the bachelors degree level (Fairlie 2013). Places with a large share of their population holding a college degree, not more or less, have the highest rates of business ownership (Conroy and Weiler, 2016). Thus we focus on college education as the crux of an economy with competitive wages, innovative activities, and high rates of entrepreneurship
