National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS) AleAssessment

A national survey reported in 1993, which provided a profile of the literacy skills of the United States' adult population. The results revealed that more than 40% of all American adults have literacy levels at Levels 1 or 2 (out of five), below the level required to secure jobs at good wages.
