The U.S. Census Bureau has announced new data-sharing agreements with Brigham Young University-Idaho and the University of North Carolina System as part of its Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO) experimental data product. These partnerships add information from 17 more post-secondary institutions, expanding PSEO coverage to a total of 952 institutions and about 35% of all college graduates in the United States.
The PSEO provides detailed earnings and employment outcomes for graduates by degree level, major, institution, and state. This information is used by students, parents, educational institutions, and workforce agencies to better understand the labor market results for college graduates.
These outcomes are made possible through collaborations between universities, university systems, state education departments, state labor market offices, and the Census Bureau. The graduate transcript records are linked to Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics data. Users can access this information through the PSEO Explorer tool, raw files, or the Census API.
“Data users can access the information generated by linking graduate transcript records to Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics data via the PSEO Explorer tool, raw files, and the Census API,” according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
More details on these outcomes are available at PSEO data.
