One of the things I was curious about was how many people are in school now compared to the 60s and 70s. I had trouble finding a graph or statistics on how many people are in school but https://www.statista.com/statistics/184272/educational-attainment-of-college-diploma-or-higher-by-gender/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/184272/educational-attai... shows that 14.6% of men and 10.1% of women in 1971 had completed 4 years of college. For 2019, that was 35.4% of women and about 34% of men. So there are 3 times as many women and 2 times as many men as there were 50 years ago. And that's for students who have completed 4 years. I would be surprised if the number of students who started and didn't make it to 4 years wasn't also 2-3 times higher than it was back then.
