According to a report released yesterday by the BLS:

“At age 22, women were more likely than men to be enrolled in college and were more likely to have received a bachelor’s degree. Twenty-nine percent of women were attending college during the October when they were age 22, compared with 25.2% of men. Moreover, 12.8% of women had earned a bachelor’s degree, compared with 6.9% of men.”
