Multiple Choice

According to a recent study by the Economic Policy Institute, the hourly earnings of college graduates compared to people without a degree in 2013 were almost double, and this gap is increasing over time. Why is this significant in the matter of social stratification?

A) A college education pays off in both income and wealth, which increases social stratification.
B) Those without a degree can reverse the stratification effects for their family within one generation by sending their children to college.
C) Those without a degree make more than college graduates since they enter the workforce earlier and work longer.
D) Because college graduates are generally unable to translate this income into wealth, education has an effect only on income.
