W: (19)A group called Alliance for Excellent Education finds current US dropout rates are a major drag on local economies. Michael is from the group and he’ll go deeper into it.
M: Yes. We used financial software to calculate the economic impact overall. The class of 2008 saw 600 000 kids drop out.
W: So what would have happened if that number was cut in half?
M: (20)There would be $4 billion in increased earnings. And all that earnings would result in increased spending and investing, which would be enough to support 30 000 new jobs at a time.
W: That’s a surprising number! And it will add up to a tax revenue of...
M: (20)State and local tax revenue would rise by $ 0.5 billion.
W: But the study shows just getting a diploma boosts the economy, right?
M: It is an incredible resource that is right there for us. Whether we have kids or not, whether we are car dealer, realtor (房地产经纪人). or a bank manager, we all benefit from a lower dropout rate. Right now there are 7 000 kids estimated who drop out of school every day.
W: So you agree with it?
M: Well, (21)I think the report underscores the notion that the best economic stimulus package is a high school diploma.
W: All right. So, what cities have the potential to add the most jobs if kids actually stay in school?
M: Well. (22)L. A., we are talking about 4 700 jobs; New York City, more than 3 000; Miami, nearly 2 000. So these are cities that certainly would benefit, all the people who live in them would benefit as well.
