A good way to protect yourself from unemployment

by Gary Alt

We all know the job market is tough, right? The national unemployment rate in August was 8.1%. But what they don't report on the news is how your education choices affect your chances of getting and keeping a job. The real story in these statistics is that you have a far better chance of staying employed if you have a college degree. This infographic shows that a solid education is more important today than ever before.
