<br />8. Workforce
<br />The skills and training of the local workforce contributes to the local economy,
<br />influences economic development and also suggests potential demands of current
<br />residents. Table 12-7 shows the educational attainment levels in the community.
<br />Nearly two-thirds of Ramsey residents age 25 or older has a high school diploma
<br />or some college experience as their highest level of educational attainment. In
<br />contrast, less than six percent of the population has yet to attain a high school
<br />diploma, and almost one-third have attained an associates degree or even higher
<br />level of education. In general the educational achievement of Ramsey residents
<br />is very similar to the rest of Anoka County.
