Heidi Shierholz’s spin on this depressing data strikes me as a bit too college-skeptical, but the data itself is worth highlighting:

It’s still the case that a college degree has offered some buffer against a brutal decade for wage-owners. Folks without a bachelor’s degree have done even worse. But what we see here is that crummy economic conditions have been quite broadly crummy. Almost everyone is suffering.
