1 Respondents who have received a General Educational Development (GED) credential are counted as high
school graduates.
2 A small percent of respondents were enrolled in both formal schooling (that is, high school or
college) and training. They are counted in the formal schooling categories only.
3 Training includes any courses, training programs, or apprenticeships designed to help people find a
job, improve their job skills, or learn a new job. Training also may include a GED preparation course.
4 Less than .05 percent.
NOTE: This table excludes individuals who had earned a bachelor's degree by the October when age 23.
The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 consists of young men and women who were ages 12 to 16
on December 31, 1996. Race and Hispanic or Latino ethnicity groups are mutually exclusive but not
exhaustive. Other race groups, which are included in the overall totals, are not shown separately because
their representation in the survey sample is not sufficiently large to provide statistically reliable
estimates.
