Notes: Data comes from Statistics Sweden and the Swedish National Agency for Education. All statistics are measured in 2019 for the cohort who received their degree in 2016. We denote programs that we pool for our analysis as follows: for Hotel & Restaurant and for Building & Industry. Median earnings is computed for graduates who work (and do not study) during the year. Graduates have a stable job if they are employed in November; have yearly earnings 206,500 SEK; and have not been unemployed during the year. The column “excl. students” excludes graduates who study during the year. In the industry classifications, Wholesale & Retail Trade includes Repair of Motor Vehicles.
