This is all you need to know. Fake news.
"Bachelors Only: Only employees who possess a Bachelor's Degree and no higher degrees are included. This means Bachelor graduates who go on to earn a Master's degree, MBA, MD, JD, PhD, or other advanced degree are not included."
For some Liberal Arts, Ivy League, and highly selective schools, graduates with degrees higher than a bachelor's degree can represent a significant fraction of all graduates.
Careers that require advanced degrees, such as law or medicine, are not included.
U.S. Only: All reports are for graduates of schools from the United States who work in the United States. This sample does not include U.S. territories, such as Puerto Rico or Guam.
Full-Time Employees Only: Only graduates who are employed full-time and paid with either an hourly wage or an annual salary are included.
Self-Employed, project-based, and contract employees are not included. For example, project-based graphic designers and architects, and nearly all small business owners and novelists, are not included."
I would be excluded as a small business owning masters degree holder.

Yeah, this is idiotic. How many people have law degrees, MBAs, Master's in Accounting or Finance, or went to medical school and would skew this number in our favor? Alternatively, all the girls who got MRS degrees and worked for two years before getting married and retiring to Brook Hollow are dragging it down.
