- Title
Does a Parking Attendant Really Need a College Degree? Downcredentialing in a Post-COVID-19 Economy and Beyond.
- Authors
Cohen, Sam
- Abstract
The article discusses degree inflation in job requirements, focusing on the practice of demanding a non-specific four-year degree for positions unrelated to the field of study. It highlights the discriminatory impact on protected classes, such as Black and Hispanic applicants, and critiques the inadequacy of existing legal frameworks, especially disparate impact law. It explores the rise of degree inflation after the 2008 recession and the challenges in legal claims against it.
