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."

This is why India and many other countries stress and make education a priority for their getting ahead. There will always be jobs for non-college grads but as automation takes its toll on many old good paying jobs, the wave of the future is through education whether it be college, tech school, or other.
