March 23, 2023: Seventy-five percent (75%) of voters say that it is more important to create good jobs for those without college degrees than to make sure everyone can go to college. A Scott Rasmussen National Survey found that just 17% say it is more important to make sure everyone can go to college.
The survey also found that 65% think this is a good time to be looking for a job. Twenty-three percent (23%) say it is a bad time to be looking.

Methodology
The survey of 1,000 Registered Voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on March 7-9, 2023. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation’s population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population.
The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 3.1 percentage points.
