Completion by Race/Ethnicity Source: WICHE Multistate Data Exchange Notes: Data apply to public high school graduates from the class of 2005 in HI, ID, OR, or WA who had a subsequent postsecondary enrollment record, and first-time public postsecondary students in 2005-06 in any of those states. Data count awards achieved through end of AY2010-11. “Still Enrolled” means those without an award who had an enrollment in the final term AY2010-11

  15. Median Wages by Highest Degree Earned Source: WICHE Multistate Data Exchange Note: Median quarterly wages are measured approximately a year after award or last enrollment for those with no award. Data apply to public high school graduates from the class of 2005 and first-time public postsecondary students in 2005-06 in HI, ID, OR, or WA who had a postsecondary enrollment record and an employment record in one or more of those states. Students concurrently enrolled (i.e., received an associate’s degree and are pursuing a bachelor’s degree) are removed.

  16. Mobility of Washington Bachelor’s and Higher Graduates by Field of Study Source: WICHE Multistate Data Exchange Notes: Data are for individuals who completed by December 2010. Employment measured 10-12 months after receipt of award, and subsequent enrollment measured for a term concurrent with the quarter employment was sought.
