Wat is er gebeurd met de mensen die klaar waren?

Elk salariscijfer op deze site beschrijft mensen die werken. Deze pagina beschrijft degenen die niet. Vier jaar na het afronden van een Amerikaanse kwalificatie, een deel van elke afstuderen cohort heeft geen winst op record nergens.. Geen lonen, geen zelfstandige inkomen. De federale overheid meet het en publiceert het een college per keer. Lees over programma's, het is het dichtst bij een mislukkingspercentage voor een kwalificatie.

De mensen in alle onderstaande programma's die klaar waren, stopten met studeren en hadden geen inkomsten vier jaar later. 1,015,000.

.Niet werken is niet hetzelfde als werkelozen, en het verschil is geen technische kwestie

De maatregel is het ontbreken van een winst record voor het hele jaar.. Geen loon op een W-2, geen positieve zelfstandige inkomen op een belastingaangifte. Niemand in deze gegevens werd gevraagd of ze wilde een baan. Dus de graaf bevat mensen die ervoor gekozen niet te werken: het opvoeden van kinderen, zorgen voor een familielid, reizen, het bestuderen van iets dat niet een graad, leven op het inkomen van een partner, of verhuizen naar het buitenland. Het bevat ook iedereen die wilde werken en kon het niet krijgen. De twee zijn niet gescheiden overal, door niemand, en we zullen niet raden bij de splitsing. Wat de figuur stelt is hoeveel mensen voltooid een kwalificatie en, vier jaar later, waren niets verdienen van het of van iets anders.. die is de vraag de mediane beloning cijfer is stil over.

Wie wordt geteld en wie niet?

Alleen mensen die federale studentenhulp hebben aangenomen. Het cohort is gebouwd uit het federale studenten-lonen en subsidiesysteem, dus completers die betaald hun eigen manier zijn afwezig. Dat is ongeveer de helft van de Amerikaanse undergraduates. Of de ontbrekende helft doet beter of erger wordt niet gepubliceerd, en het is het enige grootste ding dat we niet weten over deze cijfers.

Mensen die nog studeren, zitten in geen van beide columns. Iemand die een vrijgezellenfeest afmaakte en direct in een master ging, wordt uitgesloten van zowel het werk als het niet-werkende aantal, wat juist is: ze hebben niet gefaald om werk te vinden, ze hebben niet gekeken. Het betekent ook dat het percentage een deel is van de mensen die daadwerkelijk het onderwijs verlieten, niet een deel van iedereen die afstudeerde.

De federale programmacode is grover dan een baan. Programma's worden gepubliceerd op vier-cijferige korreligheid en geen fijnere. Radiografie, ademhalingstherapie en chirurgische technologie delen een code; fysiotherapie deelt een andere met ergotherapie. Rijen die meer dan een beroep omvatten zijn gemarkeerd hieronder en het detail zit onder elk. Waar een rij wordt gedeeld, het cijfer gaat over de code, niet over een enkele baan erin.

Kleine programma's worden aan de bron onderdrukt en wij vullen de kloof niet op. Het ministerie houdt het aantal instellingen met cohorten te klein om veilig te publiceren, en voegt statistische ruis toe aan degenen die het publiceert. Dus elke rij hier is een bedrag over de instellingen groot genoeg om te rapporteren. De dekking kolom toont welk deel van de nationale totale van het departement dat bedrag herstelt; niets verschijnt hieronder 75.0%, en niets verschijnt met een cohort onder 1,000.

En de kleine programma's die we kunnen zien dragen het resultaat niet. Elk percentage hieronder werd opnieuw bepaald met de kleinste rapportageprogramma's. 30 — verwijderd. Over elke rij op deze pagina was de grootste beweging 0.6 Dat is de controle waar mensen meestal om vragen en het komt weer schoon terug, dus de cijfers zijn geen artefact van kleine cohorten.

Elk programma dat we kunnen publiceren, het slechtste eerst

Gesorteerd door het aandeel dat eindigde met geen inkomsten. Het is opzettelijk niet gesorteerd op loon.. de loonkolom is hier zodat u kunt zien wat degenen die werk vinden verdienen, en het nooit beslist de bestelling.

Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma
Gedeelde code
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.

Health and medical administration, associate's degree
Gedeelde code
CIP 51.07 covers medical billing and coding, health information technology, medical office administration and, at graduate level, health services administration. The sub-degree end of this code is one of the most heavily marketed training products in the country, and its four-year outcome is among the worst on this page — but it is also the code where the Department suppresses the most, so the certificate row does not clear our coverage floor and is not published here at all.

Aviation maintenance leads to an FAA certificate and pays materially more than automotive work, and the Department publishes no split, so this figure is a blend and cannot be read as either.

Dental support (hygiene and assisting), undergraduate certificate or diploma
Gedeelde code
CIP 51.06 holds dental hygiene and dental assisting together, and the two are not comparable: dental hygiene is a licensed associate-degree role that pays around the associate figure here, dental assisting is a short certificate that pays far less. 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.

One caveat matters more here than anywhere else on this page — this covers only the driving schools that take federal student aid, and most CDL training is paid in cash or funded by a carrier and never appears in federal data at all.

CIP 51.31 is dietetics and clinical nutrition. The bachelor's degree no longer reaches the registered dietitian credential on its own — since 2024 the Commission on Dietetic Registration has required a master's — so this row covers a qualification that is now a step rather than a destination, which is part of why its four-year outcome is worse than the graduate rows in health.

Practical nursing and nursing assistant training, undergraduate certificate or diploma
Gedeelde code
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. Those are very different qualifications: one is a licensed clinical role reached after about a year, the other is a few weeks of training for work that pays far less. This figure is both of them together, and the mix is not published, so it may not be read as the LPN figure.

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
Gedeelde code
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.

Hoe lees je de twee geld kolommen

De loonkolom is een overlevingscijfer, en dat is het punt. Het is de mediaan voor de mensen in dezelfde cohort die werkten.. de ene in de andere kolom zijn niet in het. Elke mediaan op elke betaalplaats is gebouwd op die manier; bijna geen van hen toont u de kolom naast. Het lezen van de twee samen is de enige manier waarop het salaris cijfer betekent iets: een hoge mediaan naast een hoge niet-werksnelheid is een programma waar de mensen die het maken doen goed en een betekenisvolle aandeel niet maken.

De schuldkolom is een bodem, geen prijs. Het is de mediane federale lening schuld gedragen bij voltooiing.. wat mensen eigenlijk geleend van de overheid. Het sluit subsidies, besparingen, familie geld, particuliere leningen en de kosten van levensonderhoud, zodat de werkelijke kosten van elk programma hier is hoger dan het getoonde aantal, door een bedrag dat niemand publiceert. Het is ook een mediaan over de instellingen die rapporteren een, die niet hetzelfde is als een mediaan over studenten.

Vier jaar is vroeg voor sommige van deze en laat voor geen. Voor een certificaat, vier jaar uit is een vaste carrière. Voor de geneeskunde is het het midden van een residency, dat is waarom de medische rijen tonen inkomsten ver onder wat die artsen uiteindelijk zal maken.. Het cijfer is echt, het is gewoon het meten van de bodem van de curve. Het departement publiceert niets verder uit, dus wij ook niet.

Geen van deze zegt dat een programma slecht is. Een kwalificatie kan wettelijk worden vereist, of de enige route naar werk die je liever doet, en nog steeds een slechte vierjarige uitkomst tonen. Wat de kolom doet is stoppen met het salariscijfer wordt gelezen als een belofte.
