<p>The figures of interest are in the back. Figure 3 refers to college graduation rates by family income quartiles for the 1961-1964 birth cohorts and 1979-1982 birth cohorts. Figure 2 refers to college entry rates.</p>
<p>For the 1961-1964 birth cohort, college entry and graduation percentages by family income quartile were:</p>
<p>19/5, 32/14, 38/17, 58/36</p>
<p>For the 1979-1982 birth cohort, the percentages were:</p>
<p>29/9, 47/21, 60/32, 80/54</p>
<p>Note that if you divide the college graduation percentage by the college entry percentage, the graduation percentage for those who entered college were for the 1961-1964 cohort:</p>
<p>26, 44, 45, 62</p>
<p>For the 1979-1982 birth cohort:</p>
<p>31, 44, 53, 68</p>
