Conclusions
1.Population growth has been a part of Texas’ history.2.Population and economic trends favor a continuing
expansion of the Texas labor force.3.Higher education levels bring more earnings and greater
opportunities.4.There continue to be significant gaps between the
educational attainment levels of Anglos and non-Anglos.5.We don’t know whether this trend will persist in the future.
But for those of us who believe that an educated workforce is a key to Texas’ future, it should be a cause for concern.
