**According to what I read in their outcomes report and my personal interpretation, it's NOT true that 87% of graduates get jobs within 6 months of graduating, but it's a statement that of all the people who got jobs, 87% was within six months and the rest were more than six months.** [https://practicum-content.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/usa-main/Outcomes\_Report\_2022.pdf](https://practicum-content.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/usa-main/Outcomes_Report_2022.pdf) "The outcomes presented in this report were collected through an online survey of 1613 alumni who’d graduated before 2H 2022 and reported working in a field relevant to their training." "87% find a tech job within six months of graduation" "These numbers represent graduates who got hired in their field within 6 months of graduation. Grads who founds jobs after the 6-month mark were not counted. " 87% OF PEOPLE WHO GOT JOBS IN SOME AMOUNT OF TIME happened to do so in 6 months, and the other 13% got jobs within some other amount of time. This is my interpretation, maybe I'm wrong but that's how I read it.
