Abstract:
This set of Web Tables presents descriptive statistics on the spring 2009 labor market experiences of subbaccalaureate students who first entered postsecondary education in 2003-04. The Web Tables use data from the nationally representative 2004/09 Beginning Post-secondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS:04/09), which followed a cohort of first-time postsecondary students for 6 academic years, from 2003-04 until 2008-09. For both certificate and associate's degree students, results are shown for completers and noncompleters. Completers are categorized based on the highest degree they attained, and non-completers are classified based on their initial degree program. The tables are organized as follows: Tables 1 and 2 introduce the groups of interest by providing percentage distributions of both the initial degree or certificate program of all 2003-04 first-time postsecondary students and the degree or certificate completion status for those no longer enrolled as of spring 2009. Subsequent tables show results by completion status in two series, first for certificate students (tables 3-11) and then for associate's degree students (tables 12-20). Tables 3 and 12 begin each series and provide context for the outcomes reported in the rest of the series by presenting data on demographics, enrollment characteristics, and employment after enrollment. Beginning with tables 4 and 13, each after enrollment. Beginning with tables 4 and 13, each table examines specific spring 2009 employment results for completers and noncompleters with selected demographic, enrollment, and employment characteristics. Tables 4-6 and 13-15 report on the labor force participation of certificate and associate's degree students, respectively. They include data about unemployment spells and spring 2009 employment status, displaying findings by demographics and enrollment characteristics. Tables 7-11 and 16-20 provide further information about certificate and associate's degree students' spring 2009 employment, such as annual earnings, employer-offered benefits, and job satisfaction, by demographics, enrollment characteristics, and employment characteristics.

Abstract:
This report updates a series of NCES reports on high school dropout and completion rates that began in 1988. The report includes national and regional population estimates for the percentage of students who dropped out of high school between 2008 and 2009, the percentage of young people who were dropouts in 2009, and the percentage of young people who were not in high school and had some form of high school credential in 2009. Data are presented by a number of characteristics including race/ethnicity, sex, age, family income, disability, and geographic region. Annual data for these population estimates are provided for the 1972-2009 period. Information about the high school class of 2009 is also presented in the form on on-time graduation rates from public high schools. Appended are Technical Notes, Glossary, and Standard Error Tables. Among the findings: Event dropout rates: On average, 3.4 percent of students who were enrolled in public or private high schools in October 2008 left school before October 2009 without completing a high school program. Event dropout rates by sex: There was no measurable difference in the 2009 event dropout rates for males and females, a pattern generally found since 1972 (tables 1 and 3). Exceptions to this pattern occurred in 4 years--1974, 1976, 1978, and 2000--when males had measurably higher event dropout rates than females. Event dropout rates by race/ethnicity: Black and Hispanic students had higher event dropout rates than White students in 2009. Event dropout rates by family income: In 2009, the event dropout rate of students living in low-income families was about five times greater than the rate of their peers from high-income families (7.4 percent vs. 1.4 percent). (Contains 28 tables, 6 figures, and 30 footnotes.) [For the previous report, "Trends in High School Dropout and Completion Rates in the United States: 1972-2008. Compendium Report.
