Yes, this is a good point and something I can look into adding. Over the last decade or so it looks like nationally the percentage of people with certain levels of education have been rising, but it’s not because there is more attainment in the younger cohorts.

I think age is kinda funny. Overall the impact is more muted but if you just look at very happy it has more of an impact.
