Employment/statistics website?

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.

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.

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.
