•⚫ The recession and recovery have hastened a long-
term change in the composition of the American
workforce.
• The Great Recession decimated low-skill, blue-collar
and clerical jobs. The recovery added primarily
high-skill, managerial and professional jobs.
•
For the first time, workers with a Bachelor's degree
or higher make up a larger share of the workforce
(36%) than those with a high school diploma or less
(34%).
