Yes, and that’s one of the things on this subject that has made me generally concerned about circulated social media opinions touting how college “isn’t worth it anymore,” not to mention right-wing education demonization.
In reality, university education is still the best thing you can do for your lifetime earnings, even if you accumulate 6 figures of debt. You have to pick a horrendous major to make it a net negative (and even if you do that, you can probably just pivot to a job that is fine with “any bachelors degree.”
It’s interesting how positive these graphs seem to be. The gender and race gaps in unemployment are narrowing. The overall underemployment/functional unemployment rate is the lowest it’s been since 1995.
Maybe it’s a reminder not to listen to a small handful of loud voices (or maybe even voices of psyop campaigns) trying to tell you that the economy is terrible and that a massive recession is imminent. Sure, there are some products that are getting more expensive. That’s life. Get your raise. Stop doomscrolling.
On that note, university education hasn’t gotten more expensive in a couple of decades, as universities are desperate to maintain enrollment figures.
