kinda of a silly analysis, that one finds on blogs.
First, '09 was the ~peak of high school grads, so yeah, more kids went to college than two years prior.
“full-time students who were 20 years old or younger when they enrolled — the six-year graduation rate was 68.3 percent, down only a bit from 2007.”
But the author’s stupidity arises when they assume that every adult who got laid off and went to college: a) actually desires a degree; b) is going full time.
Wow, they do find that the graduation rate is low for part-time students. Next, they’ll tell us that dogs bite postal carriers.
