graduated from Ohio colleges anduniversities with a bachelor's degree in1993,making Ohio the fourth-largestproducer of college graduates that year.Only Califonia.New York,and Texasproduced more graduates than did Ohio;rounding out the top five was Pennsylva-nia.These five states produced nearlyone-third of all the college graduates inthe United States in 1993.A year later,about 72 percent ofall 1993 graduatesnationwide were still living in the statein which they had graduated.By 1997.the proportion of 1993 graduates  \neducated workforce by examining thepercentage of state-educated collegestudents who remain in the state aftergraduation.Currently,one of the mostuseful sources of information aboutgraduates available is the Baccalaureateand Beyond survey.which is conductedby the U.S.Department of Education.The survey is a longitudinal study thatfollows students who obtained theirbachelor's degree in either 1993 or 2000.Survey participants are interviewed theyear they graduate
