Free files of the summary tables behind MajorPays, for researchers, journalists, schools and students. Each CSV has one header row followed by data only, so it loads cleanly in Excel, Google Sheets, R, pandas or a database. The ZIP adds a README with the sources, the license and attribution text, a guide to every column and how to open the file, so the credit travels with the data. The figures come from U.S. government sources (see Data sources); MajorPays selected, combined and in places recalculated them, did not rank anything, and does not provide advice. You may use and share these files free of charge with credit to the original agencies named in the README (and, if you like, to MajorPays). College Scorecard and O*NET data are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution, which requires crediting the source and noting that changes were made. The standalone CSV files hold data only and carry no credit lines; if you use a CSV, please include the credit text from the README in the matching ZIP.
