Again, you don't stand up, you quote newspapers, and I use the word "news" in its loosest sense. One day you will decide not to derail every thread, maybe even form an opinion of your own. Try it, you may well learn something!

NB Those graphs are misleading in that the percentage of graduates in areas with younger populations (eg inner cities) will be higher than in areas with older populations.
