Professor Paul Harrington, a researcher for the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeast University in Boston, announced Thursday, Nov. 19, findings about the economic consequences of dropping out of school in Los Angeles.
In conjunction with a speech from Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Harrington revealed two reports, “Dropouts: Path to Poverty - The Lifetime Employment, Earnings and Poverty Consequences of Dropping out of School in the Los Angeles Metro Area” and “Work, School and Idleness: Disconnected Youth in Los Angeles.”
The reports state that high school dropouts had the lowest average hourly wage rate and were least likely to have worked at all during a given year. The reports also document recession impacts on youth employment rates and the need to develop strategies to push young adults, especially women, to go back to school.
“Dropouts” specifically states that 70 percent of high school dropouts worked at some time the prior year in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, in contrast to 78 percent of high school graduates and 90 percent of college graduates in the same area. The average high school dropout will cost taxpayers more than $292,000, the study concluded.
