College grads getting majority of jobs

AMHERST, Mass. (WWLP) – According to a new report, college grads are getting jobs. In fact, they are getting nearly all of the jobs.

11.6 million jobs have been created since we’ve climbed out of the recession. 8.4 million of those jobs went to people with at least a bachelor’s degree.

Recent college graduates have turned their tassels at the right time. A new report by the Center of Education shows employers increasingly want workers with degrees. 36% of the U.S. workforce has a bachelor’s degree or higher, 30% have associates degrees and 34% have just a high school diploma.
