Higher Ed, Higher Pay

Some have suggested a college degree is worth less than previously. Perhaps, but recent research shows those with degrees aren't often at the bottom of the barrel.

The Pew Research organization reports very few individuals with a baccalaureate degree or higher make a near-minimum wage of $10.10 per hour or less. Only 7.2% of those at these wage levels have a college degree. On the other hand, some 37% of those earning this wage have some college, but stopped short of a degree.
