Education

Education will fuel our economic job growth and prosperity for the future. If we do not invest in human capital and job training in this country, including education from pre-school through graduate school and lifelong learning, we place our nation's foundation at risk. National leaders like Alan Greenspan have urged Congress to do it as soon as possible!
Congressman Hinojosa meets with students to discuss the importance of earning a high school diploma, obtaining advanced degrees, and pursuing careers in math, science, and engineering.
There is a tremendous earning differential based on education. On average, high school graduates earn $1.2 million over a lifetime of labor; college graduates with a bachelor's degree earn $2.1 million; those with master's degrees, $2.5 million; doctorate degrees, $3.4 million; and professional degrees, such as law, medicine, or architecture --$4.4 million.

Hinojosa works to ensure that the education pipeline is strong enough and wide enough to ensure that no community is left behind in the knowledge-driven economy of the 21st Century.
