Median earnings are one quarter's pay in the second quarter after exit. Suppressed means DOL withheld the figure (a small group, nothing reported, or a data quality hold); for length it can also mean a competency-based program. Matched to this registry location by provider name and address; the listed program is in CIP 49.0205 (truck and bus driving).
DOL marks this state's outcome reporting with a data quality note: read completion and employment figures with care.
