The research presented in these papers applies an equity lens to the philosophical, measurement, and policy considerations and assumptions underlying key components of postsecondary value to students and society, including investment, economic and non-economic returns, mobility, and racial and socioeconomic justice.  \nThe Postsecondary Value Commission consulted this foundational research as it developed a conceptual definition of postsecondary value, a framework for measuring how institutions and programs create value and ensure equitable outcomes, and an action agenda with recommendations for applying the definition and framework to change policies and practices. Through this breadth of scholarship, the commission was better able to define the value of postsecondary education and the role institutions can play in creating a more equitable and fair United States.  \nFollowing the May 2021 release of the commission’s findings, these foundational papers were prepared for publication. The views and opinions expressed in these papers do not necessarily reflect the positions of individual members of the Postsecondary Value Commission or the organizations they represent.  \nThe Postsecondary Value Commission along with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Institute for Higher Education Policy are deeply grateful to the authors of this series. The authors’ extensive expertise and thoughtful engagement in this work provided the foundation for the commission to develop an informed, innovative, and equity-driven framework. They also thank Deborah Seymour for editing the written products and the team at GMMB for their creative design and layout.  \nSuggested citation: Troutman, D. R. , & Creusere, M. (2021) . Employment and Earnings Inequities: A Case Study from The University of Texas System. Postsecondary Value Commission.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nA postsecondary credential is associated with higher levels of earnings, not just in the short term, but over a lifetime.1 Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce found that college graduates earn more than one million dollars more in lifetime wages, compared to high school graduates.2 However, many factors influence income—including choice of major, occupation and/or industry of employment, location, gender, and race.3  \nThe impact of labor market discrimination and systemic earnings disparities across genders and racial groups pose challenges for evaluating the value of postsecondary education through earnings. Schools that serve high proportions of students of color and women, including many minority-serving institutions (MSIs) and women’s colleges, may be unfairly penalized when considering student  \nearnings as a marker of value. The gender gap in wages in the United States is well-documented, with women working full-time earning 81 percent of what their male counterparts earn annually. Similarly, wage differences exist across races, w","cbCaip8pm3dZjEjZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip8pm3dZjEjZ","pdf",788042,17,"English","# Introduction\n# Median Earnings Gaps Exist for UT System Graduates by Gender and Race/Ethnicity\n# Gender and Race/Ethnicity Differences in Earnings Outcomes Vary by Field of Study\n# Gender and Race/Ethnicity Differences in Earnings Outcomes Vary by Industry\n# Differences in Intergenerational Income Mobility Exist by Gender and Race/Ethnicity\n# Recommendations for Defining Postsecondary Value\n# Appendix: Family and Student Quintiles by Institutional Sector and Size of City\n# End notes","[{\"question\":\"What question does the case study address?\",\"answer\":\"It investigates differences in employment and earnings outcomes for UT System graduates by gender and race/ethnicity.\"},{\"question\":\"What data source is used for the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"The paper uses data from the University of Texas System Office of Institutional Research and Analysis (OIRA) and references Texas Workforce Commission unemployment insurance wage measures.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main findings highlighted in the study?\",\"answer\":\"It reports median earnings gaps by gender and race/ethnicity, shows that differences vary by field of study and industry, and identifies differences in intergenerational income mobility by gender and race/ethnicity.\"}]","Employment and Earnings Inequities - A Case Study from the University of Texas System | PDF",1792059044,43]
