Columbia University study reveals that a high school dropout earns about $260,000 less over a lifetime than a high school graduate and pays about $60,000 less in taxes. America loses $192 billion-'" 1.6% of GDP-'"in combined income and tax revenue losses with each cohort of 18-year-olds who never complete high school. Increasing the educational attainment of that cohort by one year would recoup nearly half those losses.
High school dropouts have a life expectancy that is 9.2 years shorter than high school graduates. http://gogo.tc.columbia.edu/news.htm?articleId=5350
