Findings: Secondary/High School
Higher levels of CTE participation were not related to job satisfaction or pay, but were related to benefits.

NOTE: Public high school graduates are defined as students who graduated from a public high school with an honors or standard diploma by
August 31 of their scheduled graduation year (2013). CTE comprises coursetaking in agriculture and natural resources; business, finance, and
marketing; communications and communication technologies; computer and information sciences; construction; consumer services;
engineering, design, and production; health care; mechanical repair and operation; and public services. Estimates exclude the 25 percent of
nonenrolled public high school graduates who were not employed (either not in the labor force or unemployed). Estimates and standard errors
