Nearly half of working Americans with college degrees are in jobs for which they're overqualified. A new study, released by the non-profit Center for College Affordability and Productivity, says the trend is likely to continue for new college graduates over the next decade.
The number of Americans with a college degrees has grown as much as 45% in the last decade. The problem is the number of college graduates in the workforce (41.7 million) in 2010 was larger than the number of jobs requiring a college degree (28.6 million). That helps explain why 15% of taxi drivers in 2010 had bachelor's degrees. Among retail sales clerks, 25% had a bachelor's degree in 2010.
