True: "People who earn a college degree are likely to earn more than those who have a high school education."
Why: On average, higher educational attainment is associated with higher median earnings and lower unemployment. Large data sources (for example, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) consistently show median weekly and annual pay rising as education level increases, and graduate-degree holders generally earn more than bachelor's holders.
Notes: this is an average relationship — individual outcomes vary by field of study, occupation, experience, location and other factors. The other three statements are false.
