There are a lot of retail jobs listed here. I don't think they ever required a degree..?

  Yea, I saw a few in there that I didn't think required anything special. Maybe it's a hangover from the last recession when employers could be choosy like that. A lot of the others fell along the same category. No, you don't need a degree to be a developer, and you never did. But now you can get a job because employers have no choice but to acknowledge that fact. Overall, it's a good thing, but it shouldn't have taken this much pressure for it to happen.

  A little odd that Whole Foods and Publix make the list but Wegmans is left out despite being consistently ranked as the better employer.

    Wegmans is a pretty well-run company. Maybe there's something to it in the areas they operate.

  Most of these jobs never did--did anyone think they couldn't get a retail job or warehouse job without a degree? Starbucks barista? Seriously? It's also wrong about listed jobs:they list Publix as hiring pharmacists. That job absolutely requires a degree, I know of no way to get liscenced without one. So overall this is just crap, the only mildly interesting info was IBM being listed.

    I used to work at Publix. They don't hire pharmacists without degrees, as it requires a PharmD and being licensed with the state, however they do, very rarely, hire pharmacy technicians without any kind of degree and train them on the job. I have only seen this happen one time.

  Store management (and anything corporate) tends to require a degree.
