Methodology
We are looking at wage outcomes for CCC
award recipients (AA, AS, certificates down to
12 units)
Not looking at 4-yr transfers or non-completers
(yet)
What is the wage return of the terminal CCC
degree?

Start with all award recipients in any given
year.
Remove from dataset any of the following if
they occurred after date of award:
Still enrolled anywhere in CCC system
Transferred to any other institution outside system

Methodology
Match remaining non-enrolled/non-
transferred award recipients by SSN with EDD
quarterly wage records.
Sum of all quarterly wages = annual wage
(fiscal/academic year= Q3-Q4-Q1-Q2)
If any quarter in a calendar year has $1 or more of
wages, this is counted (need just one quartersworth of wages to be counted).

Reporting
We look at wages between 2 years priorthrough 5 years after date of award.
Median (not average) wages reported at
various time intervals. All wages adjusted to CA CPI (current dollars.)
Minimum n=10 matches for any reporting cell
to be disclosed. Not all programs at all campuses meet this
threshold.

Data Caveats
Excludes military, federal government, self-
employed, out of state and unemployed
No way of determining part time or full time
wages. Hours worked not in the EDDUI data.
Only students with SSNs counted.

Analysis Caveats
Data reflects only the wage outcomes of awardearners who remained in CA.
Wages are not necessarily from employment
associated with a particular award discipline; noinformation on job or whether degree/job match.
Short term wage outcomes should not be a solemeasure of institutional effectiveness or program
quality. Other factors besides earnings motivate students
to earn an award in a specific discipline.

Theres More Than Just Wage!
Wage outcomes for graduates only represent
one piece of the puzzle
Besides annual wages from EDD also get
industry of employment (NAICS) for students
Many studies have looked at earnings of
community college students but very few have
been able to link to industry or occupation.

About NAICS
North American Industry Classification System
NAICS is the lowest level of employment detailthat EDD collects
NAICS can be grouped at the two (sector),three (subsector), four (industry group), five(international industry) and six digit levels
(national industry). For purposes of analysis, wages were
aggregated to the two and four digit levels.

What conclusions can we draw from
this?
Many community college awards do a good job ofmoving students from low paying service sectoremployment to higher paying professionalindustries.
Many of the allied health fields such as Nursingand Radiologic technology have a strongalignment with employers in health relatedindustries.
Even earning academic awards in areas such asLiberal Arts can help graduates move intoprofessional occupations with higher wages.

Future work
We will continue to explore industry related
outcomes associated with wages. Begin to
look at outcomes of those who dont
complete a formal awards (skills upgrade,career upgrade, industry certificate etc.)
Ways we can incorporate industry of
employment wages with our existing wagetracker data.
