Common Good Forecaster
Exploring the Impact of Education in Your Community
United Way and the American Human Development Project have created the Common Good Forecaster, a tool to forecast how things might change in your community if educational outcomes were better.
Education benefits us all. More education leads to better jobs and higher incomes. But education is about more than jobs and wages. Educational attainment is also linked to health, life expectancy, voter turn out, incarceration, self-worth and dignity and prospects for one's children.
