Is the Proportion of College Workers in 'Non-College' Jobs Increasing?

This paper explores the claim that college educated workers are increasingly likely to be in "non-college" occupations.

This framework is used to show that skill bias technological change will to lead to a decline in the proportion of college workers in non-college jobs. This prediction is supported by the data.
