About One in Three High School Grads Hold Middle-Class Jobs
Companies filling jobs that place earners in the middle class tend to require at least an associate's degree, according to research by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. (The center defined middle-class earnings as starting at $35,000 per year, which would place a family of four at 150% above the poverty level.) However, 36% of high school graduates with no college education land jobs paying at least $35,000 per year. These jobs are most often in the fields of manufacturing, construction, and transportation and distribution.
Positions such as supervisors, office administrators, and office machine repair technicians tend to require some college education. What KSAOs do you think employers are trying to obtain with this requirement? Can you think of a better way to identify people with those KSAOs?
