All estimates came from the 2019 one-year ACS. General workforce estimates included individuals aged 20 to 65 years who were working or searching for work. Total educational pipeline estimates included individuals aged 20 to 35 years (the potential student population).
The SE is the linearized SE of the column percentage, and the 95% CI represents the lower and upper 95% confidence bound for the column percentage.
