\1\Data for white and black enrollment include persons of Hispanic origin. NOTE.--Data are based upon sample surveys of the civilian noninstitutional population. Percents based on 18- to 24-year-old high school graduates for 1992, 1993, and 1994, use a slightly different definition of graduation and may not be directly comparable with figures for other years. All college students are counted as high school graduates. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Current Population Survey, unpublished data.
