Census Bureau Partners With Over 1,100 Institutions in Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes

Press Release Number: CB26-TPS.50

AUG. 27, 2026 — The U.S. Census Bureau today announced new partnerships with institutions in Colorado, Maryland, New Mexico, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Utah, Tennessee and Vermont for its Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO) experimental data product.

People considering attending college can use the PSEO to find earnings and employment outcome data by major, degree level, post-secondary institution and state. Partnerships with eight new educational systems, plus new institutions from four existing partners, add data from 165 post-secondary institutions to the PSEO. This brings the total to 1,117 institutions, covering about 40% of all U.S. college graduates.

The PSEO is made possible through data-sharing partnerships between universities, state education and labor market information offices, and the Census Bureau. Data users can access this information by linking graduate transcript records to Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics data via the PSEO Explorer tool, raw files and Census API.
