Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO)

Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO)

Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO) are experimental tabulations developed by the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) program at the U.S. Census Bureau.

PSEO data provide earnings and employment outcomes for college and university graduates by degree level, degree major, and post-secondary institution.

These statistics are generated by matching university transcript data with a national database of jobs, using state-of-the-art confidentiality protection mechanisms to protect the underlying data. Releases are annual.
