Employment/statistics website? Forum

[Neo]

Hey everyone,
Sometimes I see people posting about statistics and employment rates (e.g. school X places Y% in biglaw). I was wondering if there is a website that states those statistics for each specific school? If there is a website, would someone mind sharing it with me? If not, where do they get those numbers from? I would say it would be on the school page; however, I figured these numbers were from a different, and more reliable, source. Thanks in advance!

Here's a start. Google around to find more recent data.

This was unnecessary.

Thanks I appreciate it! Is this what most people are quoting from?

No.

Edit: I did now, just to be sure. And I was right. Next time, don't use something so obvious.

are stats from 2005 really that relevant

Yes, because the relative strength of schools remain largely the same. There are exceptions, but it is quite relevant and a good starting point.

Also, the class of 2005 was hired for their summer positions in 2003, which was the tail end of the 9/11 recession, so it's more relevant than you might guess at first blush.
