The Chicago Tribune reports:
Since 2007, those with newly minted college degrees have seen pay levels hardly budge. Median weekly pay for the grads is only about 6 percent higher than just before the recession, or $693. But pay for an array of full-time U.S. workers climbed about 15 percent, on average, during the same time period, to $780.
There's more:
Seventy-five percent of recent graduates with engineering degrees are working in jobs that required a degree. Yet, in the low-pay leisure and hospitality area, only 33 percent were working in jobs that required degrees. And among those who majored in communications, liberal arts, business and social sciences, only 40 to 45 percent were in jobs requiring degrees.
Yet, liberals want more people to go to college!
