Abstract	In 2015, the Minnesota Legislature enacted a state postsecondary educational attainment goal that 70% of Minnesota adults (age 25 to 44) will have attained a postsecondary certificate or degree by 2025 (Minn. Laws 2015 Chapter 69 Article 3 Sec. 6). Most importantly, the law also sets 30% and 50% educational attainment benchmarks for all races and ethnicities. Educational attainment refers to the highest level of education an individual completes. The U.S. Census measures educational attainment of a population as a percentage or count of the population that holds a postsecondary credential (certificate, associate degree, diploma, bachelor's degree, master's degree, graduate certificate, and doctoral or professional degree). Current estimates show that 63.0% of Minnesotans aged 25-44 years completed a postsecondary credential. This percentage increased slightly as compared to 2015 estimates (57.5%). This yearly report provides an update on where Minnesota is at in their state postsecondary educational attainment goal. In summary, Minnesota is making steady progress towards the 70% educational attainment goal, but attainment gaps persist among people of color and American Indians. As the state is increasingly becoming more diverse, the need for more Minnesotans to become career-ready is also increasing. Unfortunately, many American Indian, Black, Asian, and Hispanic Minnesotans are not earning credentials. Showing attainment rates by basic race groups hides differences within each group that are important. In order for Minnesota to maintain economic growth and ensure continued prosperity, the state and its colleges should engage communities of color and American Indian communities in postsecondary education.
