The Center for College Affordability and Productivity calls it the “new normal” — there’s more college graduates and fewer jobs that require a college degree. The result is millions of workers with degrees in jobs that require no advanced skills.

The unemployment rate among college graduates is significantly lower than the national average, and college graduates consistently earn more than those without a degree.
