Sample is limited to civilians aged 15 and above. Sample also excludes veterans.
1 Socioeconomic, family, and migration characteristics for each sex-age-race-year combination were aggregated from the Current Population Survey (CPS)'s Annual Social and Economic Supplements (ASEC). Values are weighted by number of deaths from the Vital Statistics and thus older age groups have greater representation in these values than in descriptive summaries that are weighted using population counts.
2 Immigration-related variables are only available in the CPS from 1996 onwards. Total possible number of cells is 324 (all possible combinations of 2 sex, 9 age, 3 race, and 6 year categories). Number of cells in analyses is 305; 12 categories had no observations in the ASEC and 7 had no deaths.
3 Unemployed does not include people who are not in the labor force.
