NOTE: Since 1994, respondents have been asked if they have been promoted
by an employer since starting to work for the employer or since the date of the
last interview, whichever is more recent.
The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 consists of men and women who were
born in the years 1957-64 and were ages 14 to 22 when first interviewed in 1979.
These individuals were ages 35 to 43 in 2000. Educational attainment is defined as of
the 2000 survey. Race and Hispanic ethnicity groups are mutually exclusive but not
exhaustive. Other race groups, which are included in the overall totals, are not shown
separately because their representation in the survey sample is not sufficiently large
to provide statistically reliable estimates.
