Interesting new findings –
“This year marked the
first time college-educated workers, now 36% of the workforce, outnumbered
those with a high-school degree or less. The share of the workforce with a high
school diploma or less dropped to 34%, down five percentage points from 2007.
That’s because the vast share of the 11.6 million jobs gained in the recovery —
73% — went to those with bachelor’s degrees or higher”
