Another headline that's actually backed up by the data shown in the article would be:
High performing poor college kids smoke rich dropouts later in life
Since 19% of rich dropouts make the top 2 quintiles of income at 40, while 41% of poor college grads hit those categories, the headline is crap.
- sitkaroot 12y agoIs it so bad? The "top 2 quintiles" is the top 40%. They want to make a statement about the extremes. I think the numbers are interesting. It looks like the rich kids' distribution is bimodal with a spike at the top quintile but centered on the 2nd/3rd lowest, and the poor kids' is unimodal centered at the middle quintile.
