Posted on | August 11, 2009 | No Comments

The July jobs report from the Department of Labor revealed a not so surprising bit of information–education STILL pays!  While unemployment has struck folks of all stripes and educational backgrounds, those with a Bachelor’s degree and higher have fared best, ending July with only a 4.7% unemployment rate.

Unemployment Rates by Educational Attainment

Bachelor’s and higher – 4.7%

Some college or associate’s degree – 7.9%

High school graduate, no college – 9.4%

Less than a high school diploma – 15.4%
