The Workplace Minute
Welcome to the Workplace Minute, brought to you by H3 HR Advisors. Your quick-hit version of the HR Happy Hour Podcast, where Steve Boese shares the latest in Human Resources, HR tech, workplace trends, and more—all in just a few minutes. Tune in and stay on top of what’s shaping the workplace today!
In this episode Steve discusses new data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York that shows while some majors lead to stronger employment and earnings outcomes, a growing number of college graduates are underemployed—and many are working in roles that don’t require a degree at all.
In this episode, we break down what the data really says about majors, job prospects, and earnings—and why the traditional “pick the right major” advice is no longer enough.
