It meant a steady job to support your family and a chance to launch a career. But high school is no longer enough. The median wage for a worker with no college is now close to the poverty line for a family of four. That leaves only one path out of poverty: college education. Whether it comes as a certificate, associate degree, or bachelor’s degree, a postsecondary credential is the best bridge between poor students and good jobs .”

However, student access and success in higher education continue to be impacted by the effects of structural racism and systemic poverty. Achievement gaps among student groups reflect structural inequities that are often the result of historic and systemic social injustices.

VI SI ON 2020 County poverty rate dips 'but still too big' LORAIN – Poverty is down in Lorain County, according to figures released this week by the U.S. Census Bureau. Jackie Boehnlein, executive director of the Lorain County Community Action Agency, said any dip in poverty is a good thing, but there’s still a long way to go to deal with the persistent problem. Both Lorain County and the city of Lorain, the only community in the county for which numbers were released, saw a drop in the poverty level between 2014 and 2015. The county’s poverty rate dropped from 14.8 percent in 2014 to 13.5 percent last year, a decrease of 1.3 percent. That’s the lowest the rate has been in nearly a decade. The last time the poverty rate in the county was under 14 percent was in 2008, at the start of the Great Recession, when it was 12.5 percent. Lorain’s poverty rate went down 1.2 percent, dropping from 25.6 percent in 2014 to 24.4 percent in 2015.
