According to a Pew Research Center analysis, customer service representatives and truck drivers are the most common jobs for young women and men without a four-year degree.
The trend reflects broader patterns where men's college enrollment rates have notably declined, now standing at only 37% compared to 47% for women.
Companies are increasingly dropping degree requirements; the share of job postings that require a college degree has decreased significantly from 20.4% to 17.8% since 2019.
Though there are fewer young people enrolling in college, they are increasingly shifting toward job roles as construction laborers, health aides, and retail positions.
