Note: Coefficients for age (linear, squared, cubed), cohort (five-year dummy variables), year, marital status (married, never married, separated/widowed/divorced), race (white, black, Hispanic, other), metro area (central city, outside central city, not in metro area, not identifiable), census division, and interactions by race–cohort, marital status–cohort, census division–education, and census division–year included in model but not listed here; full results are available by request. All coefficients statistically significant at p < .001 except “more than four-year deg. × college proportion” (male quant) which is not significant.
