Recently, an online site called onrec, which positions itself a global recruitment resource, posted a news story focused on a study of corporate attitudes toward the value and benefits of continuing education.

Just to be clear, according to the onrec report, the survey results were originally announced by The EvoLLLution, which is an online newspaper for people in higher education. The study itself was conducted, according to the onrec news story, by an independent firm.

Thanks to a recent article in The Daily Caller, attention is being given to a study and report from Georgetown University showing the link between recessionary job losses and the level of education attained by employees. While most people have long understood, even if only intuitively, that higher education is a pathway to better jobs and higher wages, the Georgetown study, as reported by The Daily Caller, makes a rather shocking additional finding: almost four out of every five jobs eliminated by the recession were held by people with a high school diploma or less!
