"Rising Demand for Non-Degree Workers Faces Hiring Hurdles"

Many top companies are promoting degreeless jobs, but a new report suggests that actual hiring of non-degreed workers may not be following suit. The study found that while some companies are making tangible changes in their hiring practices, others are removing degree requirements from job postings without showing significant changes in actual hiring patterns. The move to hire people without degrees is important due to the large number of workers without degrees, and it can lead to higher pay for those who secure roles that previously required a degree. The study also provides an index for workers to compare companies based on factors such as hiring, pay, promotion, parity, and culture, and identifies common patterns among successful skill-based hiring companies.
