Abstract

The Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO) data provide earnings and employment outcomes for college graduates by degree level and major, and to do so matches university transcript data with the information contained in the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD). In this technical note, we provide additional information which may be useful as a guideline to expand the outcomes analyzed in the PSEO and provide additional relevant information for analyzing the modern economic situation. We focus in particular on workers with college degrees (but not exclusively) and for those, we report several employment statistics In particular we provide several statistics for workers with different major fields of studies. For each major, we estimate frequency of job mobility transitions, how related their industry is to their degree and whether they tend to work with coworkers with a similar level of education. An added feature of our analysis is that we can assess to which extent the imputation of workers’ education level may affect the reported statistics.
