The jobless rate for workers who only hold no high school diploma is nearly 15 percent, significantly higher than the 4.4 percent rate for those that hold a bachelor’s degree. That’s according to a study by the Center for American Progress who added that the jobless rate for workers without a high school diploma leapt by 7.3 percent from December 2007 to April 2009. For those holding only a high school diploma it was up 4.7 percent.

4. Indeed

All of my facebook friends have at least a BA. One day I looked at all of their profiles and walls to make the best estimate of everyone's employment status. The result: less than 5% were out of work.
