Notes: Figures shown are point estimates from CPS-MORG files. College+ stands for college degree or higher. S&E is short for science and engineering occupations. Each column category is fully included into the previous one, so that all college+ are workers, and all S&Es are college-educated workers. See the text for treatment of weights.
