The Education Policy Research Initiative (EPRI), a national research organization based at the University of Ottawa, has used administrative student data held by 14 post-secondary education (PSE) institutions in four different regions of the country linked to tax files at Statistics Canada in order to track students’ post-graduation earnings from 2005 through 2013. Their analysis suggests that the well-known barista myth is precisely that, and has little grounding in the actual data on student earnings.
