OverviewAPI
A study by the Burning Glass Institute and the Strada Education Foundation found that a significant portion of recent U.S. college graduates were employed in fields not necessitating a Bachelor's degree, leading to over 50% being underemployed. Underemployed graduates, particularly from majors like communications and arts, earned $20,000 less annually than those in degree-relevant roles. The study emphasized the financial consequences of underemployment and recommended enhanced guidance, transparent employment prospects, and paid internships to mitigate the issue.
