! Interpret data with caution (estimates are unstable).
|
‡ Reporting standards not met (too few cases).
|

|
2 Includes those who were employed but not at work during the survey week.
|
3 Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
|
NOTE: College includes both 2- and 4-year institutions. College students were classified as attending full time if they were taking at least 12 hours of classes (or at least 9 hours of graduate classes) during an average school week and as part time if they were taking fewer hours.
