Bipartisan Policy Center report finds U.S. higher education system failing the

America’s education system has failed the nation by increasingly producing underemployed college graduates who lack essential job skills, according to a report published Wednesday.

The Bipartisan Policy Center’s analysis of federal data noted that half of all bachelor’s program graduates between 2012 and 2021 were underemployed a year later, working off their school debt in low-paying jobs that did not require their degrees.
