Several of Suny Old Westbury's largest programs feed directly into local and regional labor markets. Education and psychology graduates often stay in the New York metro area for careers in teaching, counseling, and social services — fields with steady demand but more moderate starting pay. Business and accounting graduates, by contrast, enter higher-mobility career tracks where four-year earnings more closely reflect labor-market outcomes. The supply-demand map for college graduates provides context for how these program families align with broader national hiring trends. ```
