Job losses hit less-educated hardest

SAN FRANCISCO - (INT) - The COVID-19 recession has already led to much larger declines in employment than occurred throughout the Great Recession, and jobs have been lost much more quickly. As with past recessions, less-educated workers are bearing the brunt of these declines. Nationwide, almost 20 million workers lost jobs between February and April this year (among adults age 25 and over).

Workers with degrees also tend to do better during economic recoveries. After the Great Recession, employment growth among educated workers was robust, but employment among less-educated workers never fully recovered. Employment among college graduates is much higher today (by about 11 million) than at the economic peak prior to the Great Recession. In contrast, employment among less…
