** 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:
$$\text{Potentially\_Hired}\left(C\right)=(G_c+\epsilon )\sum _{S_c}{O}_{s_c}\left[\frac{1}{\sum _{C_{S_c}}(G_{C_{S_c}}+\epsilon )}\right]$$
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:
$C_s$
$G_{S_{C_s}}$
$\sum _{-1}^{\mathrm{+1}}$
$\sqrt{{(x_1-x_2)}^2+{(y_1-y_2)}^2}$
