Employers are increasingly ditching degree requirements in job ads, but there's one big exception - Dallas Business Journal

Employers are increasingly moving away from putting degree requirements in job postings, but there is a big exception: remote positions.found the share of job postings requiring at least a bachelor's degree fell from 52.5% in April 2020 to 47.2% November 2022.

which means most Americans are potentially left out of jobs even if those jobs don't truly require a bachelor's degree. “I think employers are finally ready to embrace this and omit less formal requirements and instead increase the skill requirements,” Simon said. Why? Because companies hiring remote roles will get more applicants because the pool is larger, and those companies might use those degree requirements to screen out applicants for higher-trust positions, Simon said.Job ads from IBM Corp., Oracle,. Lockheed Martin, PwC and Levi Strauss & Co. all show substantially decreased requirements per job posting, while Rivian, Accenture, Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson and Twitter Inc. showed increased job requirements per posting.
