“Class of 2015 Is Summa Cum Lucky in the Job Market” But Who Knows for Sure, Given the Data Source

Source: Class of 2015 Is Summa Cum Lucky in the Job Market – WSJ

I wrote,

“You write that, “…Members of the class of 2014 had an average starting salary of $48,127 a year…according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, a group made up of schools as well as companies that recruit from campuses…” (Italics for emphasis)

Though I am not saying things aren’t better, it does make a big difference where you get the data – and whether you use the average or the median – as I explain in my 2013 post, Median Starting Salaries for College Graduates $27,000 or $40,735? on my blog www.inside-higher-ed.com

(Hint: Think $27,000.)”
