Though their income earnings have been on the decline, they’re better off than their friends without a degree, as the gap between degree-earners and non-degree earners widens.

That’s according to data released last Wednesday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Median weekly earnings for those with a bachelor’s degree or higher have seen an overall decline since 2009 when they peaked at $1,255. In 2014, the most recent data, median weekly earnings were $1,193.

Over a year, that’s a $3,224 difference.

The gap between college graduates and everyone else, however, has gotten bigger.

Those with some college or an associate degree only earn $761 in median weekly earnings. Over a year, that’s a $22,464 difference. For those workers, their median weekly earnings have declined since 2004.

While the return for workers with college degrees has been declining, it still beats going without for the median worker.
