| Abstract | There has been growing national political interest in promoting community college education as a way of improving economic opportunities for disadvantages members of local workforces. Recent work mainly focuses on human capital gains, but few studies have investigated how community college credentials can affect the level of job prestige associated with mid-level employment opportunities. This research uses data from the 2002 Educational Longitudinal Study and weighted least squares regression to investigate the job prestige returns of respondents eight years after high school based on the top educational credential they received. The most common occupation for all respondents was office and administrative support. Of the associate degree holders, only a third were in positions that required such a degree. The results indicate that job prestige scores improve overall with increased educational credentials, though the benefit for community college credentials are small. Institutional and personal factors are also significantly related to job prestige outcomes. The findings of this study suggest that it is important to broaden the political discussion on promoting community college education beyond just calls for increasing student attendance to investigating ways to get people into better jobs.
