Tertiary education attainment is becoming increasingly important for social and economic success. The document discusses several key points: 1) The percentage of jobs in the US that require education beyond high school will continue increasing, with over half of all jobs requiring some form of postsecondary education by 2020. 2) The US is forecast to have 56.3 million job openings between now and 2024, with the majority (36.6 million) requiring at least some college education. 3) Many states have set goals to increase tertiary attainment rates in order to better prepare their workforce, but ensuring affordable and accessible education remains a challenge.
