Is tripleten lying about their 87% stat?

**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.

So I don't entirely agree with your tone because I try to be more robot in looking at these things, but excellent point about the "The outcomes presented in this report were collected through an online survey of 1613 alumni" **that they SURVEYED 1613 alumni but don't say how many responded.** It doesn't say how many peolple actually got responded, and this survey is of the people who RESPONDED and GOT JOBS. Very much noted and concerning, but I'm going to be level headed, I think they should have a chance at clarifying before flipping a table.
