Incomes of graduates of Wisconsin technical colleges grew substantially over the past five years, according to a survey of those who graduated in the 2001-02 school year.
Annual median salaries of those responding to the survey grew by 48 percent over a five-year period, to nearly $40,000. The Consumer Price Index rose by 16 percent in the same period.
The study by the Wisconsin Technical College System also found that three-fourths of the graduates who responded were working in their fields of training.
