Richard Florida comes across these numbers on unemployment rates in June:
--Less than high school diploma: 14.1%
--High school diploma: 10.8%
--Some college or associate degree: 8.2%
--Bachelor's degree or higher: 4.4%
These rates have remained pretty constant. Here's the BLS table.
*WSJ points out that the jobless rate for 20- to 34-year-olds with master's degrees, was 4.2 percent in June, up from 2.9 percent in June 2007. Guess it's tough all over.
