Personal finance is overtaking economics in the classroom.⁠
⁠
Thirty-nine states now require a personal-finance course to graduate high school, with four adding the mandate since 2024. That compares with 22 states that ask students to take economics, four less than in 2024, according to a forthcoming report by the Council for Economic Education.⁠
⁠
Texas, California and Indiana replaced their stand-alone economics requirements with personal-finance requirements, according to the report. The shift also extends to an emphasis on shop classes, as blue-collar jobs become more popular and white-collar hiring slows.⁠
⁠
Financial literacy was often part of the home-economics courses taught in earlier eras. These days, students are having to make difficult financial decisions just as they step into the real world. Many young people are choosing to work for themselves. Others are having to navigate financial temptations such as the proliferation of sports betting.⁠
⁠
People who had received mandatory financial education in high school were significantly more likely to make advantageous financial decisions during the pandemic compared to those who hadn’t, according to research from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. That included paying down high-cost credit-card debt or refinancing mortgages to lower rates.⁠
