“Michigan Career and Technical Institute graduates earn $X” — not “Michigan Career and Technical Institute makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Michigan Career and Technical Institute caused. Selection effects (who admits, who enrolls, who completes) are real. We publish federal data with strict descriptive phrasing — and link the methodology where you can read about the limitations directly.
