The Job Market for College Graduates, 1960-90.

Rumberger, Russell W.

Journal of Higher Education, v55 n4 p433-54 Jul-Aug 1984

An examination of changes in the job market for college graduates between 1960 and 1980 forms the basis for speculating on the opportunities in 1990. The job market in 1970 was better than in either 1960 or 1980; job opportunities will continue to decline through the 1980s. (Author/MLW)
