College graduates have lower unemployment rates.

the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that college graduates have lower unemployment rates?

Yes. A BLS table of unemployment rates by educational attainment shows bachelor's-degree holders consistently below less-educated groups, and a 1994 ERIC report states the advantages of a college degree include lower unemployment rates. Other items give graduate unemployment levels for particular periods without a comparison group.
