College Degrees and the Labor Market: Long-Run Trends and Recent Challenges for Young Graduates
<p>For decades, a college degree was a reliable ticket to faster job placement, lower unemployment, and rising wages. But something fundamental shifted around the year 2000, and the consequences are only now becoming fully visible.</p> <p>Join us for a discussion of new research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland that reveals a major transformation in the American labor market. Using nearly 50 years of data, researchers Alexander Cline and Barış Kaymak examine how the economic forces in the labor market that once strongly favored college-educated workers have shifted over the past several decades—and how young college graduates have lost their long-standing advantage in finding jobs faster.</p> <p>What you'll discover:</p> <ul> <li>Why the unemployment gap between young high school and college graduates has hit its lowest level since the late 1970s—and why this isn't just a postpandemic phenomenon</li> <li>How growth in labor demand switched from "college-biased" to "education-neutral" after the year 2000, ending decades of college-biased growth</li> <li>What advantages college graduates retain despite their struggles with initial job placement and why the story is more nuanced than "college degrees don't matter anymore"</li> </ul> <p>This research documents significant shifts in how education relates to labor market outcomes over the past several decades. The findings raise important questions about the changing nature of work, education, and economic opportunity.</p> <p>The speaker will take your questions following the presentation.</p> <h2 id="speaker">Speaker</h2> <ul> <li><strong><a href= "https://www.clevelandfed.org/people/profiles/k/kaymak-baris">Barış Kaymak</a></strong>, Economic and Policy Advisor, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland</li> </ul> <h2 id="moderator">Moderator</h2> <ul> <li><a href= "https://signalohio.org/author/amoronasignalcleveland-org/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Amy Morona</strong></a>, Higher Education Reporter, Signal Ohio</li> </ul>

Where Could Reshoring Manufacturers Find Workers?
<p>In recent decades, manufacturing employment has fallen dramatically in the United States even as it has expanded globally. Policymakers have focused on trying to rebuild America's manufacturing base through initiatives like the CHIPS and Science Act and new tariff policies. But a crucial question remains: Who will fill these jobs if manufacturing returns to the United States? This Fed Talk will dive into research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland that addresses this issue.</p> <p>Our discussion will highlight pools of potential manufacturing workers, including</p> <ul> <li>Workers who could transition to manufacturing from lower-paying industries such as retail and food service</li> <li>Young people entering the workforce who could begin careers in manufacturing</li> <li>Working-age adults not currently in school or the workforce</li> </ul> <p>Panelists will also explore which regions of the country have existing manufacturing clusters, where manufacturing employment has grown recently, and which areas have the strongest potential for workforce expansion. The discussion could help employers, workforce development professionals, and educators prepare for potential reshoring of manufacturing jobs by creating pathways to help people start manufacturing careers.</p> <p>Panelists will take your questions following the presentation.</p> <h2 id="speakers">Speakers</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Marcia Ballinger</strong>, President, Lorain County Community College</li> <li><strong>Jacob Duritsky</strong>, Vice President, Strategy and Research, TEAM NEO</li> <li><strong>Annette Vickers</strong>, Senior Research Manager, ARM Institute</li> <li><strong>Stephan Whitaker</strong>, Senior Policy Economist, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland</li> </ul> <h2 id="moderator">Moderator</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Khaz Finley</strong>, Assistant Vice President, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland</li> </ul>
