In 2016, a study was conducted at Georgetown University. It was found that since the end of the Great Recession in 2009, 11.6 million jobs were created [1]. Of those jobs, 8.4 million were snagged by adults with college degrees. Now, that’s not to say that there weren’t other factors involved in the hiring of these individuals. But, simply put, holding a college degree helped to put these workers’ resumes at the top of employers’ stacks.
