Hva skjedde med folk som ble ferdig?
Hver lønnstall på denne siden beskriver folk som jobber. Denne siden beskriver de som ikke gjør det. Fire år etter fullføringen av en amerikansk kvalifikasjon har en del av hver uteksaminerende kohort ingen lønn på rekorden noen steder – ingen lønn, ingen selvstendig arbeidsinntekt. Forbundsregeringen måler den og publiserer den en skole av gangen. Les over programmer, det er det nærmeste det er til en feilrate for en kvalifikasjon.
Den verst tenkelige takten som er offentliggjort på programmet: Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma.
Den beste sats som offentliggjøres her: Rehabilitation and therapy, doctoral degree.
Folk på tvers av alle programmene nedenfor som sluttet, sluttet å studere og som ikke hadde registrert noen lønn fire år senere. 1,015,000.
«Arbeider ikke» er ikke det samme som «arbeidsledig», og forskjellen er ikke teknisk
Målet er fraværet av lønn for hele året – ingen lønn på W-2, ingen positiv inntekt fra selvstendig virksomhet på en skatteavkastning. Ingen i denne informasjonen ble spurt om de ville ha en jobb. Så antallet inneholder folk som ikke ville jobbe: å oppdra barn, å ta vare på en relativ, reisende, studere noe som ikke er en grad, å bo på en partners inntekt, eller å flytte utenlands. Det inneholder også alle som ønsket arbeid og kunne ikke få det. De to er ikke atskilt noe sted, av noen, og vi vil ikke gjette på splitten. Hva tallet viser hvor mange mennesker som fullførte en kvalifikasjon og, fire år etter, tjente ingenting på det eller noe annet - som median lønnen ikke er stille om.
Hvem blir talt, og hvem er ikke
Bare folk som tok føderal studenthjelp. Kohorten er bygget av det føderale studentlån- og tilskuddssystemet, så kompletterende som betalte sin egen måte er fraværende. det er omtrent halvparten av de amerikanske studentene. om den manglende halvparten gjør bedre eller verre er ikke publisert, og det er det største vi ikke kjenner til om disse tallene.
Folk som studerer er ikke i noen av kolonnene. Noen som fullførte en bachelors og gikk rett inn på en masters er utelatt fra både arbeidet og ikke-arbeidende telling, som er riktig: de har ikke unnlatt å finne arbeid, de har ikke sett ut. det betyr også at andelen er en del av de folk som faktisk forlot utdanningen, ikke en del av alle som uteksaminerte.
Den føderale programkoden er grovere enn en jobb. Programmene utgis ved firesifret korneti og ingen finere. Radiografi, åndedrettsterapi og kirurgisk teknologi deler én kode; fysisk terapi deler en annen med yrkesterapi. Rader som dekker mer enn ett yrke er markert nedenfor og detaljene ligger under hver enkelt. Når en rad deles, handler tallet om koden, ikke om noen enkelt jobb i den.
Små programmer blir undertrykt ved kilden, og vi fyller ikke opp hullet. Avdelingen holder igjen tellende for institusjoner med kohorter for små til å publisere sikkert, og legger til statistisk støy til dem den publiserer. Hver rad her er altså en sum over institusjonene som er store nok til å rapportere. Dekningskolonnen viser hvilken andel av departementets egen nasjonale sum som kommer seg, ingenting vises under 75.0%Det er også viktig å ta hensyn til 1,000.
Og de små programmene vi kan se bærer ikke resultatet. Hver rate nedenfor ble vurdert på nytt med de minste rapporteringsprogrammene — kohorter under 30 — fjernet. Den største bevegelsen var på tvers av hver rad på denne siden 0.6 Det er den sjekk folk vanligvis ber om og det kommer tilbake ren, så tallene er ikke en egenskap av små kohorter.
Hvert program vi kan publisere, verste først.
Sortert etter den delen som endte opp uten lønn. Den er bevisst ikke sortert etter lønn – lønnskolonnen er her så du kan se hva de som fant jobb tjener, og den bestemmer aldri rekkefølgen.

Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma
Felles kode — omfatter mer enn ett yrke 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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Felles kode — omfatter mer enn ett yrke 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. |

Allied health diagnostic and treatment, master's degree
Felles kode — omfatter mer enn ett yrke CIP 51.09 is the broadest code on this page and it is shared. Radiography, respiratory therapy, surgical technology, cardiovascular technology, sonography, perfusion, athletic training and physician assistant studies are all inside it, and the Department publishes no split. At associate level the code is dominated by imaging, respiratory and surgical technology; at master's level by physician assistant programmes, which is why the earnings jump. No figure here is specific to any one of those occupations and it must not be quoted as though it were. |

Rehabilitation and therapy, doctoral degree
Felles kode — omfatter mer enn ett yrke 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. |

Hvordan de to pengekolonnene skal leses
Lønnskolonnen er en overlevendes tall, og det er poenget. Det er medianen for alle i samme kohort som jobbet. De i den andre kolonnen er ikke med. Hver median på alle lønnssidene er bygget på den måten, nesten ingen av dem viser deg kolonnen ved siden av. Å lese de to sammen er den eneste måten lønnstallet betyr noe. En høy median ved siden av en høy ikke-arbeidsrate er et program hvor folk som gjør det godt og en meningsfylt andel ikke gjør det.
Fordringskolonnen er et gulv, ikke en pris. Det er medianen i føderal lånegjeld som er overført ved fullføringen, men det man faktisk lånte fra offentlig forvaltning, det omfatter ikke tilskudd, sparing, familiepenger, private lån og levekostnader, så den reelle kostnaden for hvert program her er høyere enn antallet som vises, med et beløp ingen publiserer.
Fire år er tidlig for noen av disse og sent for ingen. For et sertifikat, er fire år ute en fast karriere. for medisin er det midten av en bolig, og derfor viser de medisinske radene lønn langt under det de legene til slutt vil gjøre - tallet er virkelig, det er bare å måle bunnen av kurven. Avdelingen publiserer ingenting lenger ut, så vi heller ikke.
Ikke noe av dette sier et program er dårlig. En kvalifikasjon kan være lovlig påkrevd, eller den eneste ruten til jobb du vil gjøre, og fortsatt viser et dårlig resultat på fire år.
