Interactive Tools

The full toolkit for workforce intelligence.

Four tools, each grounded in public federal data, each built to be reproducible. Use them to screen short-term programs against the Workforce Pell threshold, see where work is exposed to AI, compare community college bachelor's against traditional BAs, or explore earnings trajectories across 33 states.

Workforce Pell

Value-Added Earnings Test

Approximates the federal Workforce Pell value-added earnings test for short-term certificate programs, comparing graduate earnings against the poverty-line threshold using the best available public data. Select any state and institution to see which programs pass, which fall short, and where suppression makes the answer unknowable.

AI & Labor Market Disruption

AI Exposure Index

Three-dimensional scoring across digital intensity, human interaction, and physical work for 772 occupations covering 122.6 million workers, and 1,786 academic programs through the CIP-SOC crosswalk. Built from O*NET work characteristics and BLS employment data.

Post-Secondary Earnings

Earnings Data

Earnings at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile at 1, 5, and 10 years after graduation. 900+ institutions across 33 states, three credential levels. See trajectories, within-program variation, and where suppression limits what we can see.

Bachelor's Comparison

CCB vs. Traditional BA

Do bachelor's degrees from community colleges deliver comparable labor market value to traditional four-year BAs? Census Bureau earnings at 1, 5, and 10 years post-graduation, by field of study. CCB graduates match or exceed traditional BA earnings in most fields by Year 5.

What ties them together

We want to empower decision makers with the best available data, so they can make the right choices for themselves and plan their futures, and so the people around them can correctly enable them in reaching their goals.

All four tools run on public federal data and are reproducible end-to-end. Census Bureau Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes for earnings, BLS Occupational Employment Statistics for wages and employment counts, O*NET for work characteristics, and the BLS-NCES crosswalk to connect academic programs to occupations.

For methodology and data limits, see the technical notes on PSEO suppression, the Value-Added Test, and the AI Exposure Index.
