Educational Attainment Highest Among Married Mothers 

  

The educational attainment of U.S. mothers with resident minor children varies by relationship status. Married mothers tend to be more highly educated than either single or cohabiting mothers. Among married mothers, 41% have Bachelor's degrees compared with 17% of single and 13% of cohabiting mothers. Just 9% of married mothers have less than a high school diploma, whereas 14% of single and 19% of cohabiting mothers have less than a high school diploma.
