Can't remember where I found it, because I didn't get it from the original source, and haven't checked the reference, but it sounds credible! Look forward to hearing from others on this topic! "A 10% increase in the average education of all workers within an establishment, or about one year of schooling, yields an average 8.6% gain in productivity. The gain is even greater for non-manufacturing establishments where every additional year of schooling adds 11% to company productivity. Investing in people, the study found, improves productivity more than increasing the number of hours employees work or investing in new equipment or facilities."
