Employment Situation: An Inside Look

Check out the divergence between those unemployed from ages 20-24 and those aged 25-34. Currently there are about 1,000,000 more people that are unemployed in the 25-34 age bracket than in the 20-24 age bracket.




These values used to coincide but now the spread between them is widening which suggests that younger people may have an advantage when it comes to getting hired.  They're less picky and more willing to accept anything that has some dollar signs attached to it versus the older and more demanding unemployed member of society. In the graph below the blue line represents those aged 25-34 that are unemployed and the black line is for 20-24 age range.
























Check out the below graph which shows the unemployment rate for those over 25 with a bachelors  degree, those without one and those that didn't graduate high school.  Getting a bachelors is not a sufficient condition for employment but as the  graph below shows, you do have greater job security.


Additionally, check out the spread between those with a bachelors and those who graduated high school. Notice how this spread has widened.  This suggests that those with bachelors are certainly less susceptible to economic fluctuations and that getting through those student loans is definitely worth it.



The unemployment rate for those who graduated high school is currently 4% higher than those that got their bachelors. Lesson of the day: Read more books and get some education. I got to keep dancin' and so should you!

    It's actually very complicated in this active life to listen news on TV, so I just use the web for that purpose, and take the most recent information.

    I'm impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's both educative and interesting,
    and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about.

    Now i'm very happy that I came across this during my hunt for something relating to this.

    Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with
    hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of
    hard work due to no backup. Do you have any solutions to protect
    against hackers?

    Hi. Well done, thanks. But in your last graph you seem to mislead people comparing the whole universe of high school graduates and those who got their bachelors.
