Opinions vary on exactly how many, but McKinsey estimates  that the nation will need an additional one million each year by 2020 to  sustain its economic health. That would mean increasing today\u2019s annual  total\u20142.5 million\u2014by 40 percent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">To meet this goal, universities and colleges would have to increase  their output of graduates by 3.5 percent a year over the next decade.  That\u2019s a daunting task for two reasons. First, it would cost an  additional $52 billion a year, based on 2008 costs to produce a  graduate. Yet many states, plagued by fiscal woes, have recently lowered  spending on higher education, a trend that\u2019s unlikely to be reversed.  Second, to achieve this increase, colleges would need to enroll many  more than 3.5 percent more freshmen each year, because today, on  average, only 40 percent of students who enroll go on to graduate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinseyquarterly.com\/Public_Sector\/Education\/Boosting_productivity_in_US_higher_education_2797\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18617\" title=\"BoostingProductivity-McKinseyQuarterly-April-2011\" src=\"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/BoostingProductivity-McKinseyQuarterly-April-2011.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"697\" height=\"553\" border=\"0\" srcset=\"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/BoostingProductivity-McKinseyQuarterly-April-2011.jpg 697w, http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/BoostingProductivity-McKinseyQuarterly-April-2011-150x119.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boosting productivity in US higher education &#8212; from McKinsey Quarterly by Cota, Jayaram, Laboissi\u00e8re Excerpt: The United States needs more college graduates.
