The U.S. Census Bureau has announced new data-sharing agreements with Brigham Young University-Idaho and the University of North Carolina System for its Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO) experimental data product. This addition brings in data from 17 more post-secondary institutions, raising PSEO’s total coverage to 952 institutions and about 35% of all college graduates in the United States.
The PSEO provides information on earnings and employment outcomes for graduates by degree level, major, institution, and state. The product is used by parents, students, educational institutions, and workforce agencies to assess labor force outcomes for college graduates.
These outcomes are made possible through collaborations between universities, university systems, state education departments, state labor market information offices, and the U.S. Census Bureau. Users can access the data by linking graduate transcript records to Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics information using tools such as the PSEO Explorer tool, raw files, or through the Census API.
