Right now, for the first time in the history of our country, the generation of people retiring from work is more educated than the generation entering the job market.
As a nation, we are in decline, as much as anything else, because we do not value education at the primary and secondary levels.
That depends on what you mean by educated. A much higher proportion of people get high school educations, bachelor's degrees, and doctorates than before, but credentials are not the same as quality.
