This paper examines the relative economic benefits for white male college graduates in l97l and l976. It focuses on two factors that may account for some of the observed differences in the economic value of college: different indicators of economic benefits and variations in benefits by college degree and major. The results suggest that the relative economic benefits for white male college graduates changed little in the first half of the l970s. In both years, relative benefits do depend, however, on the area and type of college degree as well as the particular economic measure being considered.
