1 This release was reissued on Thursday, October 20, 2011, to correct an error in Table 3. The data for the educational attainment
categories erroneously contained data for those age 18 and over instead of for those age 25 and over. The analyses in this release were
not affected by the corrections.
2 Data not shown where base is less than 35,000.
