Employers Are Fed Up With College ‘Waste’ — Here’s Who They’re Hiring Instead
Recent survey data indicates that employers are placing less value on college degrees, leading to a renewed appreciation for blue-collar job-seekers with skills and experience.
The study, involving 70,000 small businesses, revealed that 67% of employers believe higher education institutions are not graduating students with relevant skills needed in today’s business community.
This sentiment was echoed by some participants who expressed dissatisfaction with the talent produced by high schools and colleges.
Furthermore, the survey found that over 40% of employers are less likely to hire a job-seeker with a four-year degree.
