Good news for college grads and for Ames, Iowa! Ames, Iowa was named to the top 25 metro areas for college graduates. The job market may be shifting, and Americans with a college degree face a substantially smaller risk of being and staying unemployed than those without diplomas. A college degree returns 15.2 percent a year, more than double the return to stock market investments since the 1950s, and five times more than the return to bonds, gold, or government bonds, according to a Brookings Institution study. And the job market for graduates seems to be improving, albeit slowly, according to recent accounts. Ames, Iowa, made the list of top 25 metro areas for college grads by the Atlantic Cities.
