Another Reason to Turn Off the TV

Here is a statistic that every high school kid should know: The unemployment rate for College Graduates is running about 4%.

"American adults who hold college degrees are finding it easier to get jobs. The unemployment rate for those 25 years old and over who have at least a bachelor’s degree dropped to 4% in April from 4.2% in the prior month and 4.5% in April 2011. That is roughly half the overall U.S. jobless rate, which declined to 8.1% last month from 8.2% in March.

I was not a math wizard in college, but it seems valid to say that without a degree you are twice as likely to be unemployed.
