我们使用美国在线招聘广告的近似宇宙来记录雇主对大学专业技能的四个新事实。首先，有些技能社会和组织技能是所有专业都需要的，而其他技能金融和客户服务技能则是特定专业需要的。其次，一些专业的技能需求概况反映了对大学毕业生的总体需求，如商业和通用工程，而其他专业，如护理和教育，技能概况相对较少。第三，技能概况的跨专业差异解释了相当大的工资差异。第四，尽管专业技能需求在不同地区存在差异，但这种差异在解释工资差异方面几乎没有作用。因此，大学专业可以被合理地概念化为便携式技能包。
We use the near universe of U.S. online job ads to document four new facts about the skills employers demand from college majors. First, some skills—social and organizational—are demanded from all majors whereas others—financial and customer service—are demanded from only particular majors. Second, some majors have skill demand profiles that mirror overall demand for college graduates, such as Business and General Engineering, while other majors, such as Nursing and Education, have relatively rare skill profiles. Third, cross-major differences in skill profiles explain considerable wage variation. Fourth, although major-specific skill demand varies across place, this variation plays little role in explaining wage variation. College majors can thus be reasonably conceptualized as portable bundles of skills.
