How often do job requirements mention a Degree?

361 current opportunities mention Degree in structured Requirements. That is 33% of the 1085 current opportunities where SpanSam has usable Requirements.

Missing Requirements remain unknown. Responsibilities, employer descriptions, marketing copy and related-job text do not add to this count.

Important: Degree is counted when it is mentioned in Requirements. A mention may be one option in wording such as “degree or diploma”; it does not automatically mean this is the sole or minimum qualification. This page does not claim these are “Degree-only” jobs.
