Most new jobs in the future will require a college degree. [View all]

I heard this, but the BLS forecast says

"...The four detailed occupations expected to add the most employment
are registered nurses (712,000), retail salespersons (707,000), home
health aides (706,000), and personal care aides (607,000)..."

Looks like about 3/4 will only need a decent high school education, yet I know the person believed what they said. I think. Maybe they meant "most good jobs, but just for a few of you".

Is there another better authority with as much history that they might have referenced?

btw, the report says full employment is expected in 2020, but that's based on projections of GDP and productivity that are already off the mark. Better than they were 3 years ago, but off of their projections. That could put half or more of just the folks who graduate this year 8 years or more away from a job that is even close to their investment. The fastest growing student loan amounts are among the 40 to 50ish crowd. Some should get a job to pay back their average $25,000 loan just about 4 years before Social Security can start.

Good thing education is its own reward.
