What’s worth 15% less than ten years ago? A College Education

At least that’s the story from a graph made by Tyler Cowen over at Marginal Revolution.  The young college grad isn’t making as much these days. Anthony Hennen over at the College Affordability Clubhouse points out that the graph hides much of the pain because it only shows the full time workers. The people pushed into part time work or grad school are left out. And grad school is just a delaying game because most of the grad students end up worse for the wear.

  1. Now, THIS is credential INFLATION!
    THIS is what happens when you give everyone a college degree — those that struggled to earn a degree are now getting hit with the consequences of reckless, poorly thought out policies.
