Abstract	The 2011 Arkansas Education to Employment report analyzes employment outcomes for graduates of Arkansas public colleges and universities for the academic years 2002 through 2009. It provides a snapshot of what these graduates' employment outcomes are in 2010, as well as, one year, two years, and five years after their graduation. The report is designed to study the value of public higher education in the state of Arkansas by addressing the following questions: (1) What are the employment outcomes of graduates from 2002 to 2009 as of 2010 in the state? (2) What percentage of Arkansas residents and non-Arkansas residents who graduate from public colleges and universities remain in Arkansas either in the workforce or enrolled in the higher education system? (3) How does level of education impact salary? (4) What is the median salary by field of study and level of degree of Arkansas graduates? and (5) In which industry areas are Arkansas graduates employed after they finish college? The report also examines the differences in employment outcomes for resident and non-resident graduates. Based on the findings, there is tremendous room for growth in degree output by Arkansas' higher education institutions. As the state is able to increase the number of degrees obtained, Arkansas will naturally see an increase in its median salary. Additionally, as the degree level rises, the less likely it is that employment data can be found for those individuals in Arkansas. This indicates that Arkansas' most highly educated individuals are leaving the state. Policies designed to address and prevent this 'brain drain' are necessary to secure Arkansas' future. [This report was produced in cooperation with the Arkansas Department of Higher Education and the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services.] (ERIC).
