Report on employment of college grads is public relations, not research (essay)
Thus this report [The College Advantage: Weathering the Economic Storm] is about promoting a mission, a policy position, not about achieving a dispassionate, objective and complete analysis of the evidence. It is thus better viewed as a piece of PR, agitprop musings as it were, not a serious academic study. Certainly, we doubt any peer-reviewed reputable academic journal in economics would touch this study in its current form.
