U.S.' Least, Most Educated Most Likely to Find Jobs in 2010 - Those with some college fared worst

by Dennis Jacobe, Gallup Chief Economist:

"Unemployment improved the most between January 2010 and January 2011 among Americans with a high school education or less, declining to 13.6% from 15.4%, and among those with postgraduate work, declining to 3.8% from 5.0%. The data also suggest there are benefits associated with completing college. The unemployment rate of 5.8% among college grads is much lower than the 10.9% among those with some college. And unemployment among college grads improved slightly over the past year, while staying flat among those with some college. Year-over-year unemployment, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, improved to 9.8% in January 2011 from 10.9% in January 2010."
