An interesting Bloomberg
piece:
“When the job
market was flooded with desperate applicants, many employers required college
degrees for entry-level jobs. There was a certain cruel logic to it: Hey, might
as well get the best.
The job market is
much tighter now, but it appears that employers haven't relaxed their hiring
criteria. That could explain why 43 percent say finding enough candidates is a
top challenge in filling entry-level jobs. It's a classic example of shooting
yourself in the foot, but of course it's also bad for the young people without
college degrees who can't get onto the bottom rung of the career ladder.”
