New report finds 70% of US college students now working while studying

Known as "new majority learners," these students are older, more diverse, and often underprepared academically. The report highlights their unique challenges and calls for targeted institutional support, including flexible learning, assistive technology, and first-generation student programs. Without intervention, colleges risk revenue loss and declining student success, Forbes reports.
