source?
I'm not so sure about the income thing.
[EDIT] Some links—far from exhaustive, again, this is such a slam-dunk thing as far as the data go that it's regarded as a fact even by quite-liberal circles of teachers and education researchers, there's not a conservative/liberal divide on whether it's happening (what to do about it—there, differences may be observed).

(perhaps surprisingly, some aspects of the phenomenon are global)
The World Bank (I double-checked, this is really them, not some group with a similar-looking domain):

Et cetera, it just goes on and on like that, pick a source you respect and decent odds you can find them reporting on this at some point.
Actual studies abound (it's a topic of active study in education research) but I'm not going to go dig through Library Genesis for them right now.
You can look at actual nation-wide data from the BLS: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/wkyeng.t03.htm
