Employment status refers to the full calendar week prior to the week when the respondent answered the questions. High school completion includes a high school diploma or an equivalent credential, including a General Educational Development (GED) certificate. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Reporting standards for some data for Asian females, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander males and females, American Indian males and females, and Alaska Native males and females, as well as females of two or more races were not met; therefore, data for males and females in these racial groups are not shown in the figure. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
