NOTE: The table uses training data from 1986 onwards, beginning when sample members were ages 21 to 29 in 1986.								
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 57 to 66 in 2022-23.  Educational attainment is determined as of the 2022-23. survey.  Race and Hispanic or Latino 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.
