d. Higher numbers of college students are dropping out before graduation.

Explanation:

The reason is that the higher number of the graduate students is dropping out before they complete the gradation process. Thus this leads to the increase in the standards of the job markets and the decline of the availability of the jobs. Thus the college completion rates are not keeping up with the job market rates and this is influenced by there rising demands for the jobs.
