1 Information on parents’ education was not available for those who did not live with their parents and were classified as a householder, and for those whose parents’ educational attainment was not reported; about 9–14 percent of high school completers ages 16–24 were in this category for the period covered.
|
NOTE: Includes those ages 16–24 completing high school in a given year. High school completers referred to those who received a high school diploma or equivalency certificate. In 1994, the survey methodology for the CPS was changed and weights were adjusted. See supplemental note 2 for further information, including the definition of parents’ education. Some estimates have been revised from previous publications.
