Will Employers Cast a Wider Net?
Barkin, Tom (2021-09-02)

College graduates made up less than 40 percent of the workforce between 2010 and 2016, but as many as 8.4 million jobs of the 11.6 million jobs created during that time went to those with a college degree.1

Apprenticeships and Their Potential in the U.S.
