CBS Moneywatch ranked the raters and it’s the results of the in-depth look at their methodologies that gave rise to PaidEmployment.com’s rankings of colleges. We took the latest results of each of the rankings lists, gave each individual college a score based on its ranking in each individual list. The score was then weighted by the rating the rater received from Moneywatch’s review and found the sum of the weighted scores. It is this sum of weighted scores that was used to generate PaidEmployment.com's results. Find out more about our methodology
