American adults who never completed college but who’ve earned a professional certificate are more likely to be employed and earn more than those without such certifications, according to a new analysis of Gallup polling data. Those with no degree but a certificate reported a median annual income of $45,000, compared to $30,000 for those with no degree and no certificate.
