The U.S. Census Bureau and the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership in collaboration with the Council for Community and Economic Research (C2ER), welcomes Andrew Foote as he presents, “Using National Jobs Data to Measure Graduate Impact.”

Until recently, very little information was known about earnings and employment outcomes of college graduates, especially by field of study. In 2018, Census released a new experimental data product called Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO).

Users of this data can see how much graduates earn over time, as well as where graduates are employed and in what industry. In this webinar, Andrew Foote discusses the creation of the product, the measurement concepts, and the plans for the future of PSEO moving forward.

Dr. Andrew Foote is a Senior Economist for the LEHD program in the Census Bureau's Center for Economic Studies, and is the lead researcher for the Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes data product.

Foote received a Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis in 2015, where his research focused on how workers are affected by job loss, with an emphasis on their decisions to migrate or exit the labor force, and how those effects have changed after the Great Recession.
