PSEO Iowa Department of Education (IDE)
Add to My BasketDescription
Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO) are experimental tabulations developed by the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) program at the U.S. Census Bureau. This record includes data for the Iowa Department of Education (IDE).
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. The PSEO are made possible through data sharing partnerships between universities, university systems, State Departments of Education, State Labor Market Information offices, and the U.S. Census Bureau. PSEO data are available for post-secondary institutions whose transcript data have been made available to the Census Bureau through a data-sharing agreement. The data contains a degree file, enrollment file, and demographic file.
Detailed Methodology
The sample frame for the degree file in PSEO is persons who received a degree or certificate from an in-scope institution. The enrollment file includes any student who enrolled. Institutions securely transmit a graduation file to the U.S. Census Bureau, which reports the degree type, degree field, graduation date, and institution for any graduating student. Demographic data on students are also provided.
