About one in six US job postings require at least a bachelor’s degree, a share that’s been declining since the pandemic in data from Indeed Hiring Lab.
The share of vacancies requiring a college education fell to 17.6% in October from about 20% in 2019. That represents tens of thousands more jobs potentially available today for the more than 60% of Americans who didn’t graduate from university, Indeed said in a report.
