Re: Detailed Employment Stats
Analyzing the more detailed employment data that most top schools have recently published, I found that one of the most striking differences is the salary reporting rate:
Cornell and Texas are notably absent. Cornell's official employment data page remains under construction. Some preliminary Cornell employment data has surfaced, but that data does not include salary information. The exclusively percentage-based data that Texas publishes, meanwhile, is virtually useless. Texas does not disclose any raw numbers, nor does it disclose the percentage of Texas graduates who are unemployed. Its series of pie charts focus exclusively on graduates that obtain employment.

Re: Detailed Employment Stats
If Yale grads are getting such baller opportunities, which 0L's on TLS claim they are, why did so many not report? Same question goes to NYU and Berkeley.Kurst wrote:Analyzing the more detailed employment data that most top schools have recently published, I found that one of the most striking differences is the salary reporting rate:

Re: Detailed Employment Stats
Yeah, for some reason UT doesn't disclose employment numbers until you're enrolled. For C/O 2010, 71.3% of the class reported.Kurst wrote:Analyzing the more detailed employment data that most top schools have recently published, I found that one of the most striking differences is the salary reporting rate:

Re: Detailed Employment Stats
Nothing too surprising to me tbh. I guess Michigan being so high is, and UVA being so low, but otherwise I think it makes sense.Kurst wrote:Analyzing the more detailed employment data that most top schools have recently published, I found that one of the most striking differences is the salary reporting rate:

Re: Detailed Employment Stats
I don't think it's that awful, considering what we know about the state of the legal industry. Biglaw hiring basically shut down that year for non T-14. 68% of the class got a full-time job which required or preferred a law degree, without any short-term positions funded by the school. Taking out 150K worth of debt for those outcomes is ridiculous, but it is what it is (and I believe W&M is one of the cheapest T1 law schools in the country). W&M probably never did much better than 20% or so in Biglaw even in boom times.ganggreen wrote:W&M (yikes)

The decision not to fund any short-term jobs is kind of eh--it makes the employment stats look more honest, but some of those job-seekers would have been helped out a lot by some kind of post-grad funding which let them work and get experience.

Re: Detailed Employment Stats
I generally agree. 55% full time, permanent, JD-required jobs is bad, no doubt, but it's probably comparable to its peers. Around 16% of their class making about 80k+ is meh but not too bad.ahnhub wrote:I don't think it's that awful, considering what we know about the state of the legal industry.
