The National Council on Economic Education sponsored a survey of economic literacy among students and adults in the United States. The average adult scored 57% and the average high school student scored 48%. Take the test, and see how you compare.
Only 6% of adults and 3% of students scored an A, so I should feel good about only missing one question out of twenty, but it’s still frustrating because I misread the question. If I had read the question correctly, I would definitely been able to eliminate two wrong answers. Maybe I would have even gotten the question correct.
