Viewpoints Industry has found that according to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, more Americans have completed their education goals
than at any other time since the Bureau started keeping statistics in
1948. Back then, the percentage of
people in the workforce who had not graduated high school was 76% ... now that
figure is down to 12%. Also in that
timeframe, the number of Americans who are armed with a bachelor's degree has
increased seven fold, to 32%. This begs
the question: if we're all smarter and
so well matriculated, then why are so many of us still looking for jobs?
Viewpoints Industry reports that more of us have been awarded with sheepskin than ever before.
The Viewpoints Industry TV show notes that the numbers of
young people who are having trouble finding a job is setting off alarm
bells. However, these figures usually
include those as young as 16, and therefore, considering the rising percentage
of students staying in high school until graduation and then going on to pursue
a post-secondary education, this most likely explains why fewer of them are
actually on a career path at this moment in their lives. Also, statistics show that young people have
traditionally registered high in the population of the unemployed. All this might be likely to change, however,
as in this post-recession era when the economy is still struggling to show it
is recovering, there may end up being more opportunities for younger
workers. The reasons are simply that
they are cheaper than seasoned, experienced labor, and as they are unfamiliar
with the working world, they will usually do anything asked of them, no matter
how unreasonable.
