About the Data/Direct to Data From the U.S. Census:

The U.S. Census Bureau released new data showing how college graduates are employed, their mobility and which industries they enter after receiving their degrees. This set of tabulations is from a pilot public-use data product on labor market outcomes for college graduates called Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes. The Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes pilot research program is being conducted in cooperation with higher education institutional systems to examine earnings and employment outcomes of post-secondary graduates.

The Employment Flows tabulations examine employment flows for graduates by institution, degree level, degree field and graduation cohort to Census Division and industry sector. Statistics will be updated for future graduation cohorts as they become available.

The Census Bureau is working to add higher education institution systems to the database.

Outputs from these tabulations are released directly to the public. For more information, visit Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics or America Counts on census.gov.
