Not only do college grads have significantly higher earnings, they also have a much lower unemployment rate. Note the large jump in income between an Associate's and a Bachelor's degree, and each increment of education after it. For a Bachelor's degree, the median yearly income works out to about 57 thousand, and it only gets better from there.
