About the Talk

Using data from 2015 STEM graduates at the University of Texas and Cornell University, analyses of negotiations, starting salaries, and job offers reveal how gender and  ethnicity shape the initial career experiences of STEM graduates in the new economy. Because these are the students who have chosen strongly vocational pursuits that promised employment and high earnings upon graduation, the experiences of this cohort show how the school-to-work transition unfolds among the most advantageously placed students.
