The Education section of this report details important educational indicators that impact the workforce and the economy. By examining indicators like these, it is possible to assess education and future economic development in terms of strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities to prepare tomorrow’s workforce for employment.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some indicators in this section could not be collected in 2020. In some cases, 2021 data was also unavailable. The school shutdown and transition to virtual learning in spring 2020 had far more significant effects than disruption of data collection and release; data from this point will show how education indicators were affected by the pandemic as well as how quickly they recover and return to pre-pandemic measures.
