La denominatoro
Kio okazis al la homoj, kiuj finis
Ĉiu salajrocifero en ĉi tiu retejo priskribas homojn, kiuj laboras. Ĉi tiu paĝo priskribas tiujn, kiuj ne laboras. Kvar jarojn post fino de usona kvalifiko, iu parto de ĉiu diplomiĝinta kohorto ne havas gajnojn registritajn ie ajn - neniun salajron, neniun memstaran enspezon. La federacia registaro mezuras ĝin kaj publikigas ĝin unu lernejon post alia. Legu tra programoj, ĝi estas la plej proksima afero al malsukceso- indico por kvalifiko.
La plej malbona indico publikigita ĉi tie, en la programo: Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma.
La plej bona prezo publikigita ĉi tie: Rehabilitation and therapy, doctoral degree.
Personoj tra ĉiuj programoj sube kiuj finis, ĉesis studi, kaj ne havis registritajn gajnojn kvar jarojn poste. La kohortoj ĉi tie sume 1,015,000.
"Ne labori" ne estas la sama kiel "senlabora", kaj la diferenco ne estas teknika
La mezuro estas la manko de iu ajn gajnoregistro por la tuta jaro - neniu salajro en W- 2, neniu pozitiva memstara enspezo en imposta deklaro. Neniu en ĉi tiuj datumoj estis demandita ĉu ili volas laboron. Do la kalkulo enhavas homojn kiuj elektis ne labori: kreskigi infanojn, zorgi pri parenco, vojaĝi, studi ion kio ne estas grado, vivi per la enspezo de partnero, aŭ translokiĝi eksterlanden. Ĝi ankaŭ enhavas ĉiujn kiuj volis labori kaj ne povis akiri ĝin. La du estas nenie apartigitaj, de iu ajn, kaj ni ne supozos la dividon. Kion la cifero determinas estas kiom da homoj kompletigis kvalifikon kaj, kvar jarojn poste, gajnis nenion el ĝi aŭ el io ajn alia - kio estas la demando pri kiu la meza salajro estas silenta.
Kiu estas kalkulita, kaj kiu ne estas
Nur homoj, kiuj ricevis federacian studentan helpon. La kohorto estas konstruita el la federacia student- prunteprena kaj stipendia sistemo, do kompletigantoj kiuj pagis memstare mankas. Tio estas proksimume duono de usonaj studentoj. Ĉu la mankanta duono faras pli bone aŭ pli malbone ne estas publikigita, kaj ĝi estas la sola plej granda afero kiun ni ne scias pri tiuj ciferoj.
La studentoj ne estas en la kolumno. Iu, kiu finis bakalaŭran gradon kaj tuj eniris en la magistran gradon, estas ekskludita el la laborantaj kaj nelaborantaj, kio estas ĝusta: ili ne malsukcesis trovi laboron, ili ne serĉis. Tio ankaŭ signifas, ke la indico estas proporcio de la homoj, kiuj fakte forlasis edukadon, ne proporcio de ĉiuj diplomiĝintoj.
La federacia programkodo estas pli kruda ol laboro. Programoj estas publikigitaj je kvarcifera granuleco kaj ne pli fajna. Radiografio, spira terapio kaj kirurgia teknologio kunhavas unu kodon; fizika terapio kunhavas alian kun laborterapio. Vicoj kovrantaj pli ol unu okupon estas markitaj sube kaj la detaloj estas sub ĉiu. Kiam vico estas kunhavata, la figuro estas pri la kodo, ne pri iu ajn unuopa laboro ene de ĝi.
Malgrandaj programoj estas subpremitaj ĉe la fonto, kaj ni ne plenigas la truon. La Ministerio retenas kalkulojn por institucioj kun kohortoj tro malgrandaj por publikigi sekure, kaj aldonas statistikan bruon al tiuj, kiujn ĝi publikigas. Do ĉiu vico ĉi tie estas sumo super la institucioj sufiĉe grandaj por raporti. La kovra kolumno montras kiom da parto de la propra nacia totalo de la Ministerio tiu sumo rekuperas; nenio aperas sube 75.0%, kaj nenio aperas kun kohorto sub 1,000.
Kaj la malgrandaj programoj, kiujn ni vidas, ne portas la rezulton. Ĉiu indico sub la 100 estis rekalkulita per la plej malgrandaj raportaj programoj — kohortoj sub 100. 30 — En ĉiu vico de tiu paĝo la plej granda movo estis 0.6 procentopunktoj. Tio estas la kontrolo, kiun homoj kutime petas kaj ĝi revenas pura, do la ciferoj ne estas artefakto de malgrandaj kohortoj.
Ĉiu programo, kiun ni povas publikigi, la plej malbona unue
Ordigita laŭ la parto kiu finis sen gajno. Ĝi estas intence ne ordigita laŭ salajro - la salajra kolumno estas tie ĉi por ke vi vidu kiom gajnas tiuj kiuj trovis laboron, kaj ĝi neniam decidas la ordon.

Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma

Kiel legi la du monkolumnojn
La kolumno de salajro estas la figuro de postvivanta, kaj tio estas la punkto. Ĝi estas la meza valoro por la homoj en la sama kohorto kiuj laboris - tiuj en la alia kolumno ne estas en ĝi. Ĉiu meza valoro en ĉiu pagejo estas konstruita tiel; preskaŭ neniu el ili montras al vi la kolumnon apud ĝi. Legi la du kune estas la sola maniero kiel la salajrocifero signifas ion ajn: alta meza valoro apud alta ne- labor- indico estas programo kie la homoj kiuj faras ĝin bone faras ĝin kaj signifa parto ne faras ĝin.
La ŝuldo-kolumno estas planko, ne prezo. Ĝi estas la meza federacia ŝuldo de la kredito porta ĉe kompletigo - kion homoj efektive prunteprenis de la registaro. Ĝi ekskludas subvenciojn, ŝparaĵojn, familian monon, privatajn kreditojn kaj vivkostojn, do la reala kosto de ĉiu programo ĉi tie estas pli alta ol la nombro montrita, per sumo kiun neniu publikigas. Ĝi estas ankaŭ meza inter la institucioj kiuj raportas unu, kiu ne estas la sama kiel meza inter studentoj.
Kvar jaroj estas frue por kelkaj el tiuj kaj malfrue por neniu. Por atestilon, kvar jaroj estas stabila kariero. Por medicino ĝi estas la mezo de la restado, kio estas kial la medicinaj vicoj montras gajnojn multe sub kion tiuj kuracistoj fine faros - la cifero estas reala, ĝi estas simple mezurado de la fundo de la kurbo. La Departemento publikigas nenion plie, do ankaŭ ni ne.
Nenio el ĉi tio diras, ke la programo estas malbona. Kvalifiko povas esti laŭleĝe postulata, aŭ la sola vojo al laboro, kiun vi preferus fari, kaj ankoraŭ montri malbonan rezulton post kvar jaroj. Kion la kolumno faras, estas eviti, ke la salajrocifero estu legata kiel promeso.
