Question

In this discussion we will discuss and critically evaluate the following claim used in Keystone's advertising: “92 percent of Keystone graduates have a job or are enrolled in graduate school a year after graduation, with 85 percent employed and 7 percent enrolled in graduate school. What's more, of those who are employed, 88% are working in the field of their choice. (Percentages based on Keystone's placement report for students who earned a bachelor's degree in the recent year.)” For your initial post, please comment on where you think this statistic comes from, and what kinds of potential issues there may be with the statistic.

Explanation / Answer

The statistic comes from Keystone's placement report.

The statistic can be misleading in the sense that the "field of their choice" is a subjective thing. It is almost impossible to verify that. And the stats are given for within 1 year which is not very well defined so there can be an overlap of numbers and the stats may be overinflated.
