Here are three good resources:

Great stats from the US Bureau of Labor statistics with nice charts and graphics for a PowerPoint presentation: http://www.bls.gov/spotlight/2010/college/.
CQ Resrcher's The Value of a College Education (must be on campus or have a COM ID to access) also has great stats, graphics abd a good overview of the topic. Check out the bibliography for links to more resources. Don't forget to use CiteNow! at the top of the report to get a citation in MLA, APA, Chicago or Bluebook style.
This US Bureau of Labor statistics page has a great chart correlating educational attainment with both earnings and unemployment rates: http://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_chart_001.htm.
