1 Estimates beginning in 1987 reflect new editing procedures for cases with missing data on school enrollment items. Estimates beginning in 1992 reflect new wording of the educational attainment item. Estimates beginning in 1994 reflect changes due to newly instituted computer-assisted interviewing. For details about changes in the Current Population Survey (CPS) over time, please see Kaufman, Alt, and Chapman (2004). 2 Beginning in 2003, respondents were able to identify themselves as being "more than one race." The 2003 White, non-Hispanic and Black, non-Hispanic categories consist of individuals who considered themselves to be one race and who did not identify as Hispanic. The Hispanic category consists of Hispanics of all races and racial combinations. Due to small sample sizes for all of the years in the table American Indians/Alaska Natives are included in the totals but are not shown separately. Asian/Pacific Islanders are also included in the totals but not shown separately as that group has only recently been sampled in adequate numbers to be reported separately (see table 1-A). The "more than one race" category in 2003 is also included in the total but not shown separately due to small sample size. NOTE: The status dropout rate indicates the percentage of 16- through 24-year-olds who are not enrolled in high school and who lack a high school credential relative to all 16- through 24-year-olds. High school credential includes a high school diploma or equivalent credential such as a General Educational Development (GED) certificate.
