Why do the Federal Loans appear large?
All information from the U.S. Department of Education including student loans is displayed exactly as reported. Yes, there are mistakes. For example, we feel that student loan information is self-evidently wrong by at least two decimal places and possibility three decimal places. In February, a United States government spokesperson said the data is accurate as reported to usaspending.gov. We are requesting review by the U.S. Department of Education.

Graphing
Why would the graph contain duplicate employee names from multiple employers or the same employer?
We attempted to requested distinct employee identifiers, but those requests were not granted. If when graphing an employee you find multiple names from multiple employers or the same employer in the same year this would most likely be different employees. If the years do not overlap then this would be the same employee moving between different employers. The graph would be correctly mapped approximately 97% of the time.
back to top
Why would the graph display slightly off the page?
Make sure your browser zoom is set at (100%) and the graph will display properly on the screen.
back to top
Why is the graphing not always available?
Graphing will be available only where multiple years of data exist.
