This Statistics in Brief describes the employment, debt-related, and enrollment experiences as of 2012 among students who completed their bachelor's degrees during the 2007-08 academic year. These findings are based on data from the second follow-up of the 2008 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:08/12), a nationally representative longitudinal survey of students who completed the requirements for a bachelor's degree during the 2007-08 academic year. The first follow-up study, conducted 1 year after these students had graduated, explored their undergraduate education experiences, early postbaccalaureate employment, education debt, and additional enrollment in postsecondary education. The second follow-up, conducted in 2012, continued to examine this cohort's employment experiences, in addition to their debt burden and repayment and postbaccalaureate enrollment through the fourth year after graduation. All comparisons of estimates were tested for statistical significance using Student's t statistic, and all differences cited are statistically significant at the p < 0.05 level. Tabular versions of each figure are available in appendix A, and the standard errors for each table and figure are available in appendix B.
