Analyzing the percentage of underemployed college
graduates who fall into the two job groups, we find a clear
trend: the share of underemployed college graduates in good
non-college jobs has fallen sharply, while the share working in
low-wage jobs has risen, with most of these changes occurring
since 2000 (Chart 5). The share of underemployed college
graduates in good non-college jobs was lower for recent college
graduates than for college graduates as a whole, and it fell
more steeply over time. About half of underemployed recent
college graduates were in good non-college jobs in the 1990s,
and that share fell to about 36 percent by 2009. As for low-wage
jobs, the share of workers in this group was similar for recent
college graduates and all college graduates in the 1990s, but
beginning in 2000, the shares for the two series diverged. The
share of recent college graduates in low-wage jobs rose from
about 15 percent in 1990 to more than 20 percent by 2009, while
the corresponding share of all college graduates increased only
modestly, from 13 percent to 15 percent. Together, these trends
suggest that the quality of jobs for underemployed recent college
graduates has been on the decline, particularly since 2000.
