In 2011, citing data from the United States Census Bureau, the Brookings Institution said that people who graduate from high school, get a full time job, and wait until they are at least 21 years old and married before they have their first child, have a poverty rate of only 2%, whereas people who do none of those things have a poverty rate of 76%.[1][2]
