Of the 11.6 million jobs added since the rebound took hold in 2010, about 99 percent — or 11.5 million jobs — were filled by people with either at least some college education, a bachelor's degree or better, according to a study by Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce. Only 80,000 spots went to workers with a high school diploma or less, according to the report.One of the report's authors argues:
It’s not just a factor of a more educated population, it’s how the labor market is changing. The labor market is demanding a more skilled workforce.Maybe ... maybe not. Another factor intervenes:
The growing supply of college-educated Americans has also contributed to the stark differences in labor-market outcomes.Other factors, unmentioned by Bloomberg, might be at play though I'd not expect employers to admit them. Employers who've hired high school or less employees may have experienced substantial dysfunctional behavior (drugs, violence, alcohol, absenteeism) from this group. They may have decided to hire "better socialized" individuals with more education since they're available and less likely to cause trouble.
Finally, hiring only people with education is a covert way to discriminate against blacks and Hispanics, without ever admitting it. I'm surprised the SJWs haven't twigged to this ruse.
