### Methodology: Higher Education-Workforce Pipeline IPEDS CIP SOC crosswalk

To Be Completed!

** If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer or Google Chrom browser, you would not be able to read the formulas in this article. These formulas were written in MathML, a W3C standard, and can be viewed in FireFox.

This methodology is much improved over my previous methodology.

In essence, the number of graduates can potentially be hired for a program with CIP code C is:
$\text{Potentially_Hired}\left(C\right)=\left({G}_{c}+\epsilon \right)\sum _{{S}_{c}}{O}_{{s}_{c}}\left[\frac{1}{\sum _{{C}_{{S}_{c}}}\left({G}_{{C}_{{S}_{c}}}+\epsilon \right)}\right]$
Where ${G}_{x}$ is the number of graduates for CIP x, ${O}_{z}$ is the number of job opening for a given SOC z, ${S}_{x}$ is the SOC S related to a CIP x, ${C}_{z}$ is the CIP C related to an SOC z, and $\epsilon$ is a very small number, which play important role when ${G}_{x}$ is zero.

Following are drafts and is to be ignored for Now!
Number of graduates for CIP c:

Number of job open for SOC s:
${O}_{s}$
SOC related to a CIP c:
${S}_{c}$
CIP related to an SOC s:
${C}_{s}$
${G}_{{S}_{{C}_{s}}}$
$\sum _{-1}^{+1}$
$\sqrt{{\left({x}_{1}-{x}_{2}\right)}^{2}+{\left({y}_{1}-{y}_{2}\right)}^{2}}$
