“We show that there are large differences in unemployment rates, underemployment rates, and average wages across majors. In particular, we show that those with degrees in majors that provide technical training, such as ‘Engineering’ and ‘Math & Computers,’ or in those that are geared toward growing parts of the economy, such as ‘Education’ and ‘Health,’ have tended to do pretty well when compared to the rest of the pack. At the other end of the spectrum, those with a ‘Liberal Arts’ or ‘Leisure & Hospitality’ major tend to have lower wages, higher unemployment, and higher underemployment.”
