(firmenpresse) - BALTIMORE, MD -- (Marketwire) -- 10/11/12 -- For Americans with a high school diploma, unemployment is 9.4 percent -- higher than the national average reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (7.8 percent). Earning your degree has never been more paramount than in today's economy.
The nationally recognized DSST Program offers in college subject areas (comparable to final end-of-course exams) that can help students earn college degrees faster and help workers win jobs sooner and with higher pay.
Need some stats to back it up? Armed with an Associate's degree, the rate of unemployment drops to 6.8 percent, a full percentage point below the national average. Unemployment declines even further, to 4.9 percent, when workers have Bachelor's degrees (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2012).
Need more proof? The National Center for Education Statistics reports a $15,000 difference in U.S. median annual earnings for women with Bachelor's degrees than without (full-time, full-year, both waged and salaried workers, ages 25 to 34). Men in the same range and having Bachelor's degrees earn $17,000 more per year. It pays to get your college degree, and DSST exams get you there faster and less expensively.
