Chart: Education Status of Working-age Adults in Maine

Adults with disabilities in Maine, as a group, have less education than their non-disabled counterparts. In 2009, only 10 percent of adults with disabilities had a four-year college degree or higher, versus 31 percent of adults with without disabilities. And almost one in five (18 percent) of adults with a disability had less than a high school degree or GED.
