College grads are getting nearly all the jobs

Got a college degree? Then it's much more likely that you could land a job in the economic recovery.

Of the 11.6 million jobs created after the Great Recession, 8.4 million went to those with at least a bachelor's degree, according to a new report from the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University.Another 3 million went to those with associate's degrees or some college education.Employers increasingly want workers with at least some college education, be it a degree or even a certificate in a trade, such as nursing assistant or welding, from a technical or community college.

"College level skills determines access to decent jobs now," said Anthony Carnevale, the center's director and lead author of the report. "The modern economy continues to leave Americans without a college education behind."
