Since 1980, the number of U.S. jobs requiring more education, experience, and training have more than doubled over jobs requiring less preparation.

There has been a 68% increase in jobs requiring more preparation.

Yet, Americans are still skeptical that college is the way to prepare for the working world:

• 16% of adults think a bachelor’s degree prepares students “very well”
• 21% think it prepares students “not too well”
• 8% believe it prepares students “not well at all”
