Using data from the National Adult Literacy Survey (National Center for Education Statistics), explores the relationship between formal schooling and adult literacy proficiency overall and for members of different demographic subgroups, for high school noncompleters, for those scoring lowest on literacy tasks, and for individuals in the workplace. The strongest message from the survey is that education matters. (Author/SLD)
