Data Details
These visualizations were created using data from the Ohio Longitudinal Data Archive. The postsecondary education information comes from the Ohio Department of Higher Education Higher Education Information System (HEI). Each award is associated with a subject identifier (CIP code) that is generalized to the two-digit level. Visualizations may count the same individual multiple times if the individual earns two or more awards
Earnings and industry information come from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Unemployment Insurance Wage (UI Wage) and Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) data. The employment records represent all employment in Ohio except self-employment and Federal or military employment. The employment industry is captured in the QCEW using the NAICS code, generalized to the two-digit level. Earnings are reported as total quarterly earnings in the UI Wage system. We annualized the earnings (multiplied by four), and used CPI to adjust the earnings to 2020 dollars. Earnings and employment are measured four calendar quarters following the term of graduation
The Ohio Longitudinal Data Archive is a project of the Ohio Education Research Center, and provides researchers with centralized access to administrative data. The OLDA is managed by The Ohio State University's Center for Human Resource Research in collaboration with Ohio's state workforce and education agencies, with those agencies providing oversight and funding.
