Question 7 • IL-Economics

What is one benefit for US workers who have a college degree rather than a high school diploma?

Answer
A
More than 80 percent of jobs require a college degree.
B
Those with a college degree report higher job satisfaction.
C
Most workers with a college degree are immune to layoffs.
D
Those with a college degree earn nearly twice as much as those without college.

Explanation

Workers with a college degree generally earn substantially more over time than workers whose education ended with high school—often close to twice as much. That makes “earn nearly twice as much” the best answer. A is too broad because most jobs do not require a college degree, and a degree does not make workers immune to layoffs.
