Yellen says job market best in nearly a decade
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Monday that college graduates are entering the strongest job market the country has seen in nearly a decade, and their degree is more important than ever.
Yellen said that with changes in the job market such as technology and globalization, succeeding in the job market is increasingly tied to higher education. She said that annual earnings for college graduates last year were on average 70 percent higher than those with only a high school diploma. Back in 1980 that difference was only 20 percent.
