What does the Wall Street Journal analysis reveal about Trump’s impact on non‑college‑educated voters?
It's all quiet in the underground bunker. Doors closed, locks bolted. But the Great One isn't just resting on his laurels. He's making sure your weekend is even better by giving you his best. This is the best of Mark Levin.
Washington Examiner. Got a guy, Con Carroll, who's in charge, I think, of the opinion page. He's really uh Done grave damage to it as far as I'm concerned, but there are some good columnists left. And they're usually the ones that same the editor. Here, Byron York, Trump and his voters. This is very important. A new analysis in the Wall Street Journal offers striking evidence that for all his problems, President Trump has delivered economic benefits to the voters whose support was the foundation of his victory in twenty twenty four. The synopsis of the story is Americans without college degrees are having one of the best job markets in years. Unemployment among younger workers who didn't go to college has really been lower in recent decades.
It is the opposite story for college grads. The article was based on work done by a think tank called the Burning Glass Institute. Analysts found that uh let's see one second. Analysts found that the quote the unemployment rate for workers aged 22 to 34 who never graduated from college is at one of the lowest points unemployment is in the last 20 years. Meanwhile, workers with a bachelor's. Degree or higher are experiencing greater and uh difficulty getting a good job. Just as job hunters without degrees are having one of their best uh runs. Those with college education are having one of their worst, according to the report. In the past, analysts noted that uh the trends for the two groups, uh degreed and non-degreed tended to move in the same direction at the same time.
Now they have diverged and the non-degreed improving and the degreed encountering problems. It's not that those with college degrees are suddenly at a huge disadvantage compared to those without. A degree still means something. The Wall Street Journal notes that for those workers between ages twenty five and fifty four who have a college degree, the unemployment rate averaged two point seven percent in the last year. I mean that's basically nonexistent. For those with some college degree but no excuse with some college but no degree it was three point six percent. And for those with no college at all, they're talking about ages twenty-five, I think it was, to uh fifty-two uh to fifty-four. Um and let's see, c those with no college at all, it was four point seven percent.
So the story is not that having no degree is better than having a degree. The story is that the economic circumstances of non degreed workers are improving faster than those Yeah. A key part of Trump's rise and hold on power has been the support of voters who do not have college degrees. Trump's success has prompted hundreds of stories on the educational divide in politics, how educational status increasingly determines one's politics. The bottom line of all those stories is that those without degrees support Trump, those with degrees support Trump's opponents. He talks about the exit polls. And he goes on. Of course it's not Simple. Behind the numbers there is profound economic and social dislocation, he writes.
On the other side, people without college degrees with lower wages are struggling to pay the same high prices for groceries. All right, got it. Anyway. Thought that was somewhat interesting. I did. What do you make of that, mister Producer? Do you want to give your degree back so you can you know? Is that how that works now? I don't know, can you give you a degree back? Most of what I learned now don't get me wrong, I didn't learn It's not that I didn't learn anything in college and so forth, but uh what I've learned Mostly I'm self taught, quite frankly. I had a few really good teachers, one in philosophy, one in history, maybe two in history. Um maybe one in poly science that's about it. Not a lot. Most of it was just muscling through 'cause I was so bored.
I was bored stiff. Were you bored stiff in college, Rich?
