The latest research to show the hit education has taken during the COVID era is based on the recently-released results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress
New research is shining a light on the amount of learning students in Massachusetts missed out on during the pandemic, and what that may cost them in their future careers.

A further analysis performed by The Boston Globe found that the decline in math would mean a 1.6% decrease in lifetime earnings of Massachusetts students without "major intervention," which equates to about $23,840 per student. That could amount to more than $21 billion in lost wages for students across the state, according to the Globe.
In the research put out by Harvard and Stanford, Boston Public Schools came out a bit below of the state average, with 85% of a year of math lost and 41% for reading.

“There’s been a big increase in inequity,” Thomas Kane, a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and one of the study's co-authors, told the Globe. “Weren’t [high-income students] already ahead? Yes, they were, but the point is, they’re even more ahead than before.”
