JUNE 29, 2023 — The U.S. Census Bureau today announced the addition of six new partners in the Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO) experimental data product. PSEO now includes data on 825 institutions which cover more than 29% of all college graduates in the United States. Data users can access the data via the PSEO Explorer tool, raw files and Census Application Programming Interface (API).

The new PSEO data partners include the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, University of Wisconsin System, Georgia Independent College Association, Wyoming Community College Commission, and the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education.

PSEO tabulations show earnings and employment outcomes for graduates of U.S. post-secondary institutions and are generated by linking graduate transcript records to Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics data. This offers prospective students a comprehensive assessment tool to find out how much they could potentially earn by degree and institution.

The Census Bureau conducts the PSEO in cooperation with higher education institutions and institutional systems to examine college degree attainment and graduate earnings. It is working to expand the number of institutions represented and will include additional higher education institutions in the database in the coming months.
