CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Lansdale School of Cosmetology Inc graduates earn $X” — not “Lansdale School of Cosmetology Inc makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Lansdale School of Cosmetology Inc caused. Selection effects (who admits, who enrolls, who completes) are real. We publish federal data with strict descriptive phrasing — and link the methodology where you can read about the limitations directly.
