! Interpret with caution. Standard error is more than one-half the estimate. ‡ Reporting standards not met; too few cases for a reliable estimate. 1 All other races includes Asian/Pacific Islander, Native Hawaiian, American Indian, Alaska Native, those of more than one race, and those of other (unspecified) race. Race categories exclude those of Hispanic origin. NOTE: This table shows, for example, that 1,754,900 males participated in apprenticeship programs in the past 12 months, and that 70.0 percent of all adult participants were male. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. This table includes adults who participated in an apprenticeship program at any time in the 12 months preceding the survey.
