Estimated Annual Wage

The emp_wageAgeAdjMax column shows the median wage for each profile’s SOC code in the county that best describes the profile’s location, adjusted for the individual’s age and highest level of education completed at your institution. Occupation earnings data comes from the BLS’s OES dataset, adjusted to take into account QCEW and ACS.

Age-adjusted Median Wage estimates current annual earnings using the median wage for the graduate’s most recent occupation and county and adjusting for age and degree level using the Mincer function.
