ProLiteracy
conducted an Omnibus survey this spring to gauge the national public awareness
of adult literacy. With the data collected from 1,000 respondents, we
discovered some significant results:
Are you aware that adult literacy is an issue in the United States: YES-77% NO-23%
Are you aware of adult literacy programs in your community: NO-89% YES-11%
Education
has continued to drop since 2015 when it ranked as one of the most important,
from 22% in 2015 to 18% in 2017. Poverty, unemployment, and economic growth
also continued to drop and rank lower since 2015.
