DATA A DAY:
With diploma, without a job
LOGIC WOULD TELL US that those with a college diploma should have the least problems landing a job.
Guess again.
In today’s Data a Day, we take a peek at data released by the National Statistics Office through its latest Labor Force Survey.
There are 2.89 million unemployed Filipinos as of the latest Labor Force Survey of the National Statistics Office. Which group comprises the majority of the unemployed?
-
High school graduates
-
High school undergraduates
-
College graduates
-
College undergraduates
As we said, it would seem logical that college graduates should have the least problems getting employed. The data from the PCIJ’s MoneyPolitics online database, however, tell us a different story.
Check out the answer here.
