This graph from The Economist shows the percentage of college graduates working low-skilled work. The United States is one of the worst counties — a whopping 33 percent of grads aren’t working “skilled” jobs. As for those that are, the average earnings for 25 to 34 year olds is $56,200. If this is accurate, I think they forgot to include journalists in the “skilled” set.
