NOTE: Adults are ages 16 to 65 and not enrolled in high school. A nondegree credential is defined as a certification, license, or postsecondary certificate. Work credentials are certifications and licenses. Postsecondary certificates are credentials obtained from a community college or other postsecondary school that included at least 40 hours of instruction and did not require being enrolled in or having completed a bachelor's degree program or higher. Adults can have more than one type of credential. Cases for which all reported credentials were deemed invalid are treated as not having any reported work credentials (n=70).
