Then it was the European Union.
"Although customs duties disappeared in 1968,
trade is not
flowing freely across EU borders. The main obstacles are differences in
national regulations. The
Single
European Act of 1986 launches a vast six-year program to sort these
out. The Act also gives the European Parliament more say and strengthens
EU powers in
environmental protection".

Summary of the BLS 2004-2114 Job outlook by education
for college graduates"Between 2004 and
2014, BLS projects 55 million job openings for workers who are entering
an occupation for the first time. Of these, at least 13.9 million
[25.3%]are expected to be filled by college-educated workers."
The Department of Labor continues in its efforts to explain or not
explain the over supply of college graduates. Their latest attempt to
divide college graduates into two categories. "In these 'pure college'
occupations, at least 60 percent of current workers aged 25-44 have a
bachelor’s or higher degree, fewer than 20 percent have a high school
diploma or less education, and fewer than 20 percent have taken college
courses but do not have a bachelor’s degree." BLS projects that
pure-college occupations will provide about 6.9 million..." [about
12.5% of the total openings].
|
"Over the 2004-14 decade, about 15.6 million openings are projected
to be in occupations in which the number of college educated workers is
significant—20 percent or more but which also employ a significant
number of workers with other levels of education." Of this "Mixed
education" occupations group, the "...BLS
expects 7 million to be filled by college graduates..."[about
12.5%of the total opening][ note 12.5 +12.5
= 25]
The August 20&27 issue of Business Week states on page 45 that the
BLS reports that 34% of adult workers in
the U.S. now have a college degree. This means that about one-quarter
of the college graduates (34% -25%)/34% will be in occupations where
less than 20% of the workers have a college degree. |
