CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“York Technical College graduates earn $X” — not “York Technical College makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending York Technical College 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.
