Indiana's unemployment rate is now 5.8%. On July 18th the Indianapolis Star quoted economist Michael Hicks, "Indiana's rising unemployment reflects a decreaing national demand for goods.  Consumer spending declined because of the rise in gasoline prices." 

The Department of Labor reports that for workers with a bachelor's degree the unemployment rate drops to 2.7%.  This report  goes on to say workers aged 18 and over with a bachelor's degree earn approximately $23,000 more than workers with a high school diploma.

What does all of this mean?  If you are in the workplace without a bachelor's degree, you may want to begin working toward a degree.
