Higher education is even more valuable now

This year’s worldwide pandemic certainly has thrown the U.S. economy for a loop. And one way your student can position themselves during these uncertain times is to earn at least a bachelor’s degree. Unemployment rates are drastically higher for those with less education. In some instances, those with a bachelor’s degree or higher have unemployment rates less than half of those with a high school diploma (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics).

Though the unemployment rate is on a comeback, it’s still unclear what the economy will look like after the pandemic. The struggle may continue for those just starting their careers. Your student can gain the advantage by furthering their education. Earning a bachelor’s degree can help with job stability in an uncertain economy.
