El denominador
¿Qué pasó con la gente que terminó
Cada cifra de pago en este sitio describe a las personas que están trabajando. Esta página describe a los que no lo están. Cuatro años después de terminar una calificación de EE.UU., una parte de cada cohorte graduada no tiene ingresos registrados en ningún lugar — sin salarios, sin ingresos por trabajo por cuenta propia. El gobierno federal lo mide y lo publica una universidad a la vez. Lea en todos los programas, es lo más cercano que hay a una tasa de fracaso para una calificación.
El peor de los índices publicados aquí, en el programa: Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma.
La mejor tarifa publicada aquí: Rehabilitation and therapy, doctoral degree.
Las personas de todos los programas que se encuentran abajo que terminaron, dejaron de estudiar y no tuvieron ingresos registrados cuatro años después. 1,015,000.
“No trabajar” no es lo mismo que “desempleado”, y la diferencia no es un tecnicismo
La medida es la ausencia de un registro de ingresos durante todo el año —sin salario en un W-2, sin ingresos positivos por trabajo por cuenta propia en una declaración de impuestos. A nadie en estos datos se le preguntó si querían un trabajo. Así que el recuento contiene personas que decidieron no trabajar: criar a los hijos, cuidar a un familiar, viajar, estudiar algo que no es un título, vivir con los ingresos de una pareja, o mudarse al extranjero. También contiene a todos los que querían trabajo y no pudieron conseguirlo. Los dos no están separados en ninguna parte, por nadie, y no vamos a adivinar en la división. Lo que la cifra establece es cuántas personas completaron una calificación y, cuatro años después, no se gana nada de ella o de nada más — que es la cuestión de la mediana cifra de pago es de silencio.
¿Quién es contado, y quién no es
Sólo la gente que tomó ayuda estudiantil federal. La cohorte se construye a partir del sistema federal de préstamos estudiantiles y becas, por lo que los que pagan su propio camino están ausentes. Eso es aproximadamente la mitad de los estudiantes de pregrado de EE.UU. Si la mitad faltante lo hace mejor o peor no se publica, y es la única cosa más grande que no sabemos sobre estas cifras.
La gente que sigue estudiando no está en ninguna columna. Alguien que terminó un soltero y fue directamente a un maestro está excluido tanto del trabajo como del no-trabajo, lo cual es correcto: no han fallado en encontrar trabajo, no han mirado. También significa que la tasa es una parte de las personas que realmente dejaron la educación, no una parte de todos los que se graduaron.
El código federal de programas es más grueso que un trabajo. Los programas se publican en granularidad de cuatro dígitos y sin más fin. Radiografía, terapia respiratoria y tecnología quirúrgica comparten un código; fisioterapia comparte otro con terapia ocupacional. Las filas que cubren más de una ocupación están marcadas a continuación y el detalle se encuentra debajo de cada una. Donde una fila se comparte, la figura es sobre el código, no sobre un solo trabajo dentro de él.
Los pequeños programas se suprimen en la fuente, y no llenamos el vacío. El Departamento retiene los recuentos de instituciones con cohortes demasiado pequeñas para publicar con seguridad, y añade ruido estadístico a los que publica. Así que cada fila aquí es una suma sobre las instituciones lo suficientemente grande como para informar. La columna de cobertura muestra qué proporción del total nacional del Departamento que la suma recupera; nada aparece a continuación 75.0%, y nada aparece con una cohorte bajo 1,000.
Y los pequeños programas que podemos ver no están dando resultado. Cada tasa inferior se recomputaba con los programas de información más pequeños, es decir, cohortes de 30 — En cada fila de esta página el movimiento más grande fue 0.6 puntos porcentuales. Es el cheque que la gente suele pedir y vuelve limpio, por lo que las cifras no son un artefacto de cohortes pequeñas.
Cada programa que podemos publicar, peor primero
Clasificado por la acción que terminó sin ganancias. No se clasifica deliberadamente por pago — la columna de pago está aquí para que pueda ver lo que los que encontraron trabajo están ganando, y nunca decide la orden.

Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma
Código compartido — cubre más de una ocupación CIP 12.04 is cosmetology together with barbering, nail technology, esthetics and related grooming programmes. They lead to different state licences and somewhat different pay, and the Department publishes no split. What they have in common is the thing this row shows: they are the largest sub-degree programme in the country by completions, and they have the worst four-year outcome of any programme on this page. |

The credential level separates them better than the code does — the certificate row is mostly assisting, the associate and bachelor's rows mostly hygiene — but neither split is published, so neither is certain. |

Practical nursing and nursing assistant training, undergraduate certificate or diploma
Código compartido — cubre más de una ocupación CIP 51.39 puts practical and vocational nursing — the LPN/LVN route — in the same code as nursing-assistant and orderly training, and at certificate level the two cannot be separated.

No figure here is specific to any one of those occupations and it must not be quoted as though it were. |

Nursing (advanced practice and administration), doctoral degree
Código compartido — cubre más de una ocupación CIP 51.38 is registered nursing, together with nursing administration, nursing research and clinical nursing specialisms. At associate and bachelor's level it is almost entirely pre-licensure programmes leading to the NCLEX-RN, so the figure can fairly be read as being about becoming a registered nurse. At master's level and above it also carries nurse practitioners, nurse anaesthetists, nurse midwives, nurse educators and nursing administrators, which are different jobs with different pay. |

Rehabilitation and therapy, doctoral degree
Código compartido — cubre más de una ocupación CIP 51.23 covers physical therapy, occupational therapy, therapeutic recreation, art and music therapy and rehabilitation counselling together. The doctoral row is mostly the Doctor of Physical Therapy alongside occupational therapy doctorates; the master's row is mostly occupational therapy and counselling. Physical therapy alone cannot be extracted from any of them, so none of these is the physical therapy figure. |

Cómo leer las dos columnas de dinero
La columna de pago es una cifra de sobreviviente, y ese es el punto. Es la mediana para las personas de la misma cohorte que estaban trabajando — los de la otra columna no están en ella. Cada mediana en cada sitio de pago se construye de esa manera; casi ninguno de ellos le muestra la columna junto a ella. Leer los dos juntos es la única manera en que la cifra de pago significa algo: una mediana alta junto a una alta tasa de no-funcionamiento es un programa donde las personas que lo hacen bien y una participación significativa no lo hacen.
La columna de la deuda es un piso, no un precio. Es la mediana de la deuda de préstamos federales que se lleva al término, lo que la gente realmente tomó prestado del gobierno. Excluye subvenciones, ahorros, dinero familiar, préstamos privados y costos de vida, por lo que el costo real de cada programa aquí es mayor que el número mostrado, por una cantidad que nadie publica. También es una mediana en todas las instituciones que reportan uno, que no es la misma que una mediana entre los estudiantes.
Cuatro años es temprano para algunos de estos y tarde para ninguno. Para un certificado, cuatro años fuera es una carrera establecida. Para la medicina es el medio de una residencia, por lo que las filas médicas muestran ganancias muy por debajo de lo que esos médicos eventualmente harán — la cifra es real, simplemente está midiendo el fondo de la curva. El Departamento no publica nada más lejos, así que tampoco nosotros.
Nada de esto dice que un programa es malo. Una calificación puede ser legalmente requerida, o la única ruta hacia el trabajo que preferiría hacer, y todavía mostrar un pobre resultado de cuatro años. Lo que hace la columna es detener la cifra de pago se lee como una promesa.
