Findings B. Educational Attainment and Job Training The second standard measure of individual social well-being is educational achievement. Education is intimately linked with employment, household income, and social mobility. Within the Hispanic and Latinx community, less than 70% of survey respondents have completed high school and over 10% of survey respondents have completed at least a bachelor’s degree; in comparison, 88.5% of all York County residents have completed high school, and over 20% completed at least a bachelor’s degree i . Highest Level of Education Less than High School 31% High School Diploma or GED 39% Some College Coursework 17% Bachelor's Degree 9% More than a Bachelor's Degree 3% Chart 9: - Source: 2017 York County Hispanic/Latinx Community Assessment Within the entire community, there is a desire for more educational opportunities and job training.

When analyzing educational attainment and job training, four demographic subsections were analyzed: those households making less than $19,000 per year, those households making between $19,000 and $34,999 per year, those respondents with less than a high school diploma, and those respondents with a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent. These four categories encompass highly vulnerable and susceptible populations that are more likely to need social or human service assistance. The Arthur J.
