#Estimate rounds to 0 or 0 cases in sample. NOTE: Work-related courses or training are defined as any formal courses or training taken in the 12 months prior to the interview that had an instructor present and were related to job or career, whether or not the respondent had a job when he or she took them. Information was collected on up to four work-related courses or training taken in the 12 months prior to the interview. If an adult took more than four courses or training, four were sampled for data collection. Details do not sum to totals and percentages sum to more than 100 percent because people may take courses or training from more than one provider.
