Carnevale, Anthony P.; Smith, Nicole; Strohl, Jeff – Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2010
America is slowly coming out of the Recession of 2007--only to find itself on a collision course with the future: not enough Americans are completing college.

Carnevale, Anthony P.; Smith, Nicole; Strohl, Jeff – Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2010
The recession that began in December of 2007 is already 30 months old, but the U.S. economy will not recover its pre-recession employment levels for at least another two years. From there, it will take an additional three years to make up for lost growth and create a job market strong enough to employ both the casualties of the recession and the…

Sargent, Jon – Occupational Outlook Quarterly, 1982
A recent Bureau of Labor Statistics analysis indicates that the job market for college graduates during the 1980s is expected to be similar to the highly competitive market that characterized the 1970s, due to the supply of college graduates, the college labor market of the 1970s, and occupational demand in the 1980s.

Fleetwood, Chad; Shelley, Kristina – Occupational Outlook Quarterly, 2000
For the first time in many years, a Bureau of Labor Statistics analysis finds that the total college-level job openings between 1998 and 2008 will nearly equal the number of college-educated (bachelor's degree or higher) entrants to the labor force. However, more than 90,000 college graduates each year will take jobs that do not require…

Rather conservative projections indicate that teacher supply…
