The Role of College Majors on Earnings Premiums

Authors

Jeremy Glickman, Illinois Wesleyan University

Abstract

In my research paper, I will be evaluating the role that college majors play in determining wages for adult respondents to the 2009-2017 American Community Survey. I will be analyzing wages for college major categories of STEM, liberal arts, professional, social science, education, and others. The question I am seeking to answer in this paper is, which college major category leads to the highest earnings premium?
