  + stars: | 2023-03-31 | by ( Grace Mayer | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A WSJ survey found that 56% of Americans now say a four-year college degree isn't worth the cost. The findings underscored a decade-long college enrollment decline, which the pandemic exacerbated. Dips in confidence in college degrees were especially stark among women and older Americans, the WSJ survey found. A similar decline was reflected in older Americans: 44% of older Americans thought college was worth it, compared to 56% in 2017. Between 2017 and 2019, 46% of middle-skill and 31% of high-skill jobs nixed college degree requirements, according to a 2022 report from Burning Glass Institute.

A bachelor's degree has become a common requirement for landing US jobs, even those that didn't previously require one. Josh Shapiro signed an executive order opening up 92%, or roughly 65,000, of state jobs to those without college degrees.

Working-age men without degrees are exiting the workforce because it isn't helping their social status. For these men, jobs aren't just a source of income; they're a source of social status.

Why men without college degrees are leaving the workforce to save their social status, and what they can do insteadWu said marriage market anxiety for younger male workers is likely the prime reason for leaving the workforce when their social status declines. Studies show that stress and low-self-esteem linked to lower social status contribute to worse health and early death.

Retail workers at Gap are significantly more likely to become managers than at other companies in their industry. Apple Inc. is among the best places to work if you want to land a bigger job elsewhere. For employees seeking security, few companies offer better job stability than Exxon Mobil Corp. Certain companies, it turns out, excel at helping workers in these jobs move up the career and pay ladder. New skills at those firms don’t always translate into promotions, higher wages or more opportunities to advance.

On the other hand, overall employment growth has been much stronger than normal. Why has employment growth remained so strong? And it’s likely that these represent structural changes to buying patterns that will keep demand high. Employment growth is likely to slow down from its historically high rates, but it will still remain solid in the coming months. The only option that leaves the Fed is to engineer a recession by continuing to raise interest rates.
