Emeritus Prof Christopher May

While the share of the who have degrees in US & UK is broadly similar, the 'graduate premium" in UK (outside ) is much lower than across US.

Is this a demand or supply issue?

Given US & UK have relatively similar economies, we come back to the UK's problem:

too little investment produces too few jobs, so many graduates work in jobs with no real degree requirement.

The UK needs to capitalise on its graduate much better.
