*Economic Outcomes of High School Completers and Noncompleters 8 Years 
Later*

This Issue Brief uses data from the National Education Longitudinal 
Study of 1988 (NELS:88) to compare the economic outcomes of high school 
completers at three different points in time with the outcomes of 
individuals who did not complete high school. Differences by sex and the 
type of credential earned are also examined. The findings suggest that 
individuals who completed high school within 6 years generally had more 
favorable economic outcomes than their counterparts who completed high 
school later or not at all. However, differences in economic outcomes 
were most prominent between males and females even after controlling for 
the timing and type of high school credential earned.
