CIBC World Markets: The report by CIBC World Markets says that while completing a post-secondary education is still the best route to a well paying, quality job, the premium is dropping as too few students are graduating from programs that lead to good jobs. , according to Winnipeg Free Press. "And despite the overwhelming evidence that one's field of study is the most important factor determining labour market outcomes, today's students have not gravitated to more financially advantageous fields in a way that reflects the changing reality of the labour market." TORONTO - Students may not get the value they should out of increasingly more expensive university degrees if they don't specialize on fields in high demand, according to a new report. "Narrowing employment and earning premiums for higher education mean that, on average, Canada is experiencing an excess supply of post-secondary graduates," said CIBC economist Benjamin Tal.
