Pay equity is a critical issue in the workforce and for Higher Education. Steppingblocks [previously explored](https://blog.steppingblocks.com/r2-universities-producing-high-earning-females-under-40) the R2 universities producing the highest earning female graduates. We've elected to expand this analysis to explore the post-graduation outcomes for female students living in the Northeastern United States.

How did we generate this data?

To understand how we generated this report, you first have to understand our data. To obtain a comprehensive picture of education and workforce outcomes, we collect, organize, classify and analyze demographic, education and employment data from hundreds of sources. Our data then undergoes a rigorous process of validation for quality and veracity to ensure reliable, high-quality information on over 130 million people, over 25 million companies and over 1 billion data points.

For this analysis, we explored the post-graduation outcomes of high earning female students in Northeastern states. This allows us to generate the provided data points and understand the impact of these colleges and universities. We asked the following questions:

**Average Salary:** Using Steppingblocks' salary calculations, we identified individuals with a salary of more than $100,000.

**Gender:** Individuals identified as Female in the Steppingblocks dataset.

**Residency:** Individuals identified as living in each Northeastern State (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont).

**Top Universities:** The top undergraduate and graduate universities by volume for high-earning female residents of each state.

**Top Industries: **The top industries by volume for high-earning female residents of each state.

**Top Employers:** The top employers by volume for high-earning female residents of each state. *Note: Institutions are very frequently one of their own top employers and have been excluded from the list of top employers.*
