註釋This publication is part of a joint project of the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation and the Institute for Women?s Policy Research to analyze women?s educational status in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. It reports detailed information on the educational status of women and the economic gains from education in Georgia. This report focuses on educational attainment and earnings among women in Georgia. Georgia ranked 21st in the nation in 2000 for the proportion of its female population with a four-year college degree or more. Women in Georgia have lower levels of education than do men in the state. In 2000, 25.7 percent of men and 23.1 percent of women had completed four or more years of college. In addition, women at every education level in Georgia earn less than similarly educated men earn. While women in Georgia with at least a four-year college degree in 2000 had the 12th highest median annual earnings in the country, compared to similarly educated women, the state ranked 15th for the earnings ratio between women and men at that level of education. Both educational attainment and earnings vary by women's race and ethnicity, urban or rural status, and family income. Appended are: (1) Methodology; and (2) State and National Data on Women's and Men's Educational Attainment and Earnings.
