Abstract	A total of 748 graduates of the classes of 1964, 1974, 1980, 1982, and 1984 from 24 secondary programs for the deaf responded to the survey questionnaire of the 1984-1985 Secondary School Graduate Follow-Up Program for the Deaf. Graduates provided information about their postsecondary labor force activities, employment, occupations, earnings, and continuing educational pursuits. Results for this sixth annual survey are summarized as follows: Labor force participation rates of the most recent classes have increased 3.5 percent over the past three surveys, while rates among older graduates were slightly decreased. Unemployment rates for respondents were two to three times higher than the national average, depending on age group, and more respondents were employed part-time than in previous surveys. Males were primarily employed as "operatives, fabricators, and laborers," and secondly in "technical, sales, and administrative support" occupations. Females were also employed most often in these two categories, but in reversed order. Relative to national median weekly earnings, male and female respondents earned an average of $108 and $56 less per week, respectively. Further education of some kind had been or was currently being pursued by over 60 percent of the respondents. Increases were cited in both supplemental security insurance and vocational rehabilitation assistance. (JDD)
