Explanation:

Step1: Identify relevant data

We need to find the percentages of those without associate's or bachelor's degrees.

Step2: Calculate the sum of non - associate's and non - bachelor's percentages

Percentages of less than high school, high school, some college no degree, graduate or professional degree are \(11.8\%\), \(28.6\%\), \(19.9\%\), \(11\%\) respectively. The sum is \(11.8 + 28.6+19.9 + 11=71.3\%\)

Generally, as education attainment increases, the unemployment rate decreases (from \(8.0\%\) for less than high school to \(2.9\%\) for bachelor's degree or higher) and median earnings increase (from \(\$21.9K\) for less than high school to \(\$62.7K\) for graduate or professional degree). Higher - educated workers have better job prospects and higher earning potential.

Workers may be more likely to pursue higher education to reduce unemployment risk and increase earnings. They may also consider the time and cost of education against the potential benefits.

Answer:

\(71.3\%\)
