The supply of educated workers has been steadily increasing since the 1920’s. However in 1955 the amount of college enrollments skyrocketed. From 1955 to 1985, a span of 30 years we see college enrollment increase by nine million. This is a huge increase if you compare it to the previous 30 years. From 1925 to 1955, the enrollment increased by two maybe three million. If we look farther back the increase is even smaller. College enrollment hit its peak in 2011 due to the recession. The recession made jobs hard to find, and so a lot of the labor force went into school hoping that when they came out they would have a better chance at getting a good job. However once the recession ended, and more jobs were available the enrollment fell. Community
