Who Needs Harvard?

Why big corporations are hiring fewer Ivy Leaguers.


A Slate article discussing a recent paper by Peter Cappelli and Monika Hamori, both of the University of Pennsylvania, suggests that prestigious degrees aren't as valuable at America's largest corporations as they were a generation ago.  The numbers crunched by Cappelli and Hamori suggest that big-time corporate America is less interested in Ivy League students today than it was in the past. It could also be the other way around.
