1 Other education includes libraries, museums, cultural activities, and miscellaneous research. NOTE: On-budget funds are tied to appropriations for education programs. The increase in postsecondary expenditures in 2006 and 2017 resulted primarily from an accounting adjustment. Amounts for 2009 include funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Data for research at education institutions are estimated for 2019. Constant dollars based on the Consumer Price Index, prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, adjusted to a school-year basis.
