Yeah this effect of wealth premium going down could be due to the rapid rise of college costs. It has gone up faster than inflation for a long time. The wealth premium is the part I was referring to about this being somewhat misleading, IMO. They calculate wealth premium in terms of a ratio of savings at retirement to yearly salary. They show plots of the wealth premium trending down and saying that savings with a degree are soon to be not better of than savings without. However, this hides the fact that the degree holders have 2x the savings in absolute dollars compared to non-degree holders when the wealth premium is “zero” (because the degree holders have 2x the income).
