Expert says one-third of those with bachelor’s degrees are in jobs that don’t require them.

There are 6,455,300 more students with bachelor’s degrees today than jobs available for them, including jobs that would be created in the next seven years, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the National Center for Education Statistics.
BTW, for the past 7 years the man in charge of creating new jobs in America has been Joe Biden.

    Digs2Dicks....2022 is going to be special.

    This means that the number of Americans who hold bachelor’s degrees now, in their working years, exceeds the number of jobs created by 2022 for bachelor’s degrees by 6,458,300.

    Amazing there are 6 million pre-law/polo-sci grads out there.

    Learn to code, account or weld and you're employable for life.

    Right before I graduated, I remember the Limousine Lib Nancy Pelosi talking about how college was getting too expensive and the Feds needed to step in to provide financing. I felt so lucky to get the heck out before my school started raising tuition due to the influx of money (similar to housing from the mid 90's onwards).

    Of course the empty suit in the White House more than doubled down and gave away even more money and subsidized loans:

    Everyone should get a college education and it should be free.

    That will fix everything.

    I know you're being satcastic, but I don't think anyone is saying everyone should be admitted. That's retarded. The cost has skyrocketed over the past 20 years though. It was free or at a very low cost in most if not all states post WW2 well in to the 70s, maybe the 80s too.

    They should do a European model in which kids take an aptitude test between 7th and 9th grade. The smart kids can prepare for a college career. The others can figure a trade or some vocation they like and prepare for that Instead of wasting time at a job they hate in their 20s.

    Do you even understand what this is saying? By your comment, is clear you don't. Not to mention you don't provide the source. (CSN "News")
