Um-- "higher education" would also include other post-secondary institutions such as for-profits, and community colleges, which have notoriously awful rates of completion.

I do agree that the jobs ratio is laughable-- unless one examines this as a matter of jobs which actually require (as opposed to using it as a ridiculous screening tool) higher education.

Because of College-4-All, many skilled labor jobs now nominally have "college" as a gatekeeping mechanism, though why such positions actually require that level of education is a thing to wonder upon.
