St. Rev ☯️ 🏴 😻 added,
I don't /believe/ that this is the case but it's a statistic I can check
It's definitely the case, BA rate went from like 12% to 40% or something in the last 50 years.
It's *also* true that the white mortality rate is increasing slightly. But this makes it look staggeringly worse than it is.
I doubt that the degree rate for 60+s has increased that much, and yet there they are
Pardon my continued inability to read a chart, mid-40s seems like the departure point
GI bill after WWII kicked off a steadily increasing trend in college attendance. I'm also suspicious of changes in mortality reporting...
...but that's an issue that would be very difficult to get a handle on.
Oh. True. Reporting effects are a pretty compelling confounding factor.
Well, I can go check their sources, I might be able to find a single reporting agent for the range
Skimmed the original report, graphs are more puzzling than I expected. Don't have the brain to wade through in more detail myself.
I'm going to have to now, but perhaps I'll spare you
