I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, so don’t kill the messenger. Some interesting statistics were just released from Brookings Institute-the least educated cities in the country.
A lack of education is not something to laugh at as there are plenty of complaints to be said about our education system in America, but the Brookings Institute has decided to take a look at the cities that lack in this area the most.
Sorry to say if you’re from any of these cities, your hometown has officially made it on a list you probably don’t want to be on.
