Which college majors have the highest unemployment rates, according to the Washington Post?
I'm proud to say that the 'Liberal Arts' (which includes my discipline, history) took the bronze medal - with an unemployment rate of 9.4%.
Since that is lower than the rate here in Rhode Island, I propose we tweak the Richard Florida thesis somewhat, and say f**k the creative class. Import historians! Think of the multiplier effects!
I can't think of any multiplier effects. Good thing I'm not an economist. If there were any justice at all, those people would have come in first (especially the 'freshwater' variety).
For the few 70s-era dead-enders who actually think history is a social science...those people came in 4th, with an 8.9% rate.
The worst rate? Architects. Is it any wonder that Shana and I don't have any money? And that the country is presently filled with whiny white Tea Partiers, contemplating the 'victimhood' of John Galt?
The major with the lowest unemployment rate? Its a tie between health and education. Illness and ignorance never go into recession, do they?
