This recession isn’t for everybody
This graph is a bit startling.
Unemployment by Education Level
It is from an article about the recent election cycle by Ezra Klein in the Washington Post. It shows a deep disparity between people with different levels of education and how they are affected by the recession. Note that for those with a high school diploma or less, calamity reigns, with unemployment rates between 10% and 15%. For those with a college degree, unemployment is still at pre-recession levels. Pretty sobering stuff. (Click on the image to see the full size graph.)
