Abstract

Education is much touted as the most important factor in stimulating employment growth. But the importance of higher education levels has probably been overstated. Other factors also come into play. The mix of local industries, local labor costs, and location can all affect employment growth. When all characteristics of a local economy are considered, education appears less important than some of those other factors.
