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. Data collected by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities and the Minnesota Demographic Center combine to provide estimates of postsecondary attainment. Findings from this year's report show that by 2025, one in three children enrolled in Minnesota's education pipeline will be Latinx, Black, American Indian, or Asian (Early Childhood Longitudinal Data System [ECLDS], 2018). Of those students of color and American Indian students, half will be first-generation college students. Another third will receive free-or-reduced-priced lunch. One in six will receive special education services. One in 12 will be limited-English proficient, and one in 100 will experience homelessness (Minnesota Report Card, 2018). All of them will face a job market that will require a higher level of skill in order to remain competitive and earn a family sustaining wage in Minnesota. Because of their growing numbers, the educational achievement of Minnesota's student of color population has implications for the state's economy, local labor markets, and prospects for upward social mobility for millions of Minnesotans. Minnesota will not reach the 2025 goal of 70% attainment if the current trends remain unchanged. Moving forward, it is imperative that Minnesota enacts policies that specifically target racial/ethnic minorities and American Indians to improve their educational attainment. Focusing on barriers and finding solutions for racial/ethnic minorities and American Indian communities are key to the state's success and overall workforce readiness.
