Data for later years are for high school completers (i.e., those persons who graduated from high school with a diploma as well as those who completed high school through equivalency programs, such as a GED program). | ||||||||||||||||||||

| NOTE: For 1960 and prior years, data were collected in April. For later years, data were collected in March. Data are based on sample surveys of the noninstitutionalized population, which excludes persons living in institutions (e.g., prisons or nursing facilities); data include military personnel who live in households with civilians but exclude those who live in military barracks. Prior to 2005, standard errors were computed using generalized variance function methodology rather than the more precise replicate weight methodology used in later years. Caution should be used when comparing 2019, 2020, and 2021 estimates to those of other years due to the impact that the coronavirus pandemic had on interviewing and response rates. For additional information about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Current Population Survey data collection, please see https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/techdocs/cpsmar23.pdf. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity except where otherwise noted. | ||||||||||||||||||||
