Displayed as: "{total number of adult education Exiting Participants with earnings above the living wage for a single adult divided by all adult education Exiting Participants with earnings data} % of Exiting Participants were making a living wage."
Income figures are rounded to the nearest $1,000.
K12 participants are tracked based on date of exit.
Exiters are students who took a class and did not subsequently enroll in any postsecondary education institution the following academic year at any point.
Unemployment Insurance data contain wages only for those employed in an occupation or industry covered by Unemployment Insurance in CA. This excludes individuals employed by the military or federal government, and those who are selfâemployed, employed out of state, unemployed, or not in the workforce after completion of an award.
Data is only matched for students with a valid Social Security number.
Data will not be displayed until two years after a student exits the system.
Living wages are based on the county where the college district is located. If located in more than one county, the county with the greatest overlap was chosen (e.g., Gavilan in San Bento and Yosemite in El Dorado).
The definition of Exiters in the Student Success Funding Formula only includes students who exited the district while this metric includes students who exited the community college system and all postsecondary. Therefore, this metric will not align with the SCFF.
Because this metric measures the outcome in the subsequent year, data will not be available for the most recent year.
