ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT : According to the author's office,
policy makers should ensure that students are armed with
accurate data and information about the labor market. Giving
students a picture of college graduate salary earnings and
industry placement will allow students to make thoughtful,
data-driven decisions about where and what they want to study.
The intent of this bill is to provide information similar to
that provided by the CCC through their Salary Surfer.
