Education has a dramatic impact on job retention during an economic recession. The numbers were confirmed in the Congressional Joint Economic Committee held Friday, June 5.
The unemployment rate for high school dropouts in May was 15.5 percent versus high school graduates which was 10 percent. College graduates unemployment was 4 percent.
Klobuchar referenced Pres. Obama's focus to have young people receive at least one year of post-high school graduate education.
This recession does have more higher educated people laid off then ever before - so I heard

@ recompa2.
How in the hell is the unemployment rate the current administrations fault? Did you pay ANY attention to the previous one?? And I'm not even an Obama supporter, before you assume anything else. dipshit.

Wonder how different the rates are for people who get 2 year college vs 4 year...

Having people go back to college and having kids graduate on average at the age of 24 will help the US economy as they can have more loans and credit card bills and a lower unemployment rate will exist. You guys are something else, electing these GOP-DEM frauds, your a joke like the KKK.

If Obambi gave us 9% unemployment, it won't matter if you have a doctorate degree!!!!! Amy Klobachar is a light weight, always looking to give free stuff and spend more taxpayer's money. If people drop out of high school, how will they get into college?

America should have a K-14 education system. Grades 13 and 14 could teach college foundation programs.
