Description

The National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG) began in 1993 and has been conducted biennially to provide individuals, educational institutions, businesses and the Federal Government with the information they need to make important decisions. The survey provides data on the number and characteristics of individuals with a bachelor's or higher degree, with a special focus on individuals with education and/or employment in science or engineering. The survey includes age, educational history, citizenship, disability status, occupational/employment information, race and ethnicity, salary sex, student loan debt, job satisfaction and work-related training. It samples individuals who are living in the United States during the survey reference week, have at least a bachelor's degree, and are younger than 76.
