This bulletin on educational attainment o f the labor
force is part of the Special Labor Force Reports series.
It discusses changes since 1970 in the labor force activ­
ity of college graduates by sex, race, and Hispanic ori­
gin. The article was initially published in the Monthly
Labor Review, M arch 1984, and is reprinted w ith addi­
tional tabular material and an explanatory note.




T he data were compiled from supplem entary ques­
tions to the M arch 1982 and 1983 C urrent Population
Survey (CPS) conducted and tabulated by the Bureau
of the Census for the Bureau o f Labor Statistics.
M aterial in this publication is in the public domain

at home. During the 1970’s, inflation and economic need,
among other factors, apparently became more compelling
reasons for women in this age cohort to work outside the
home. By 1983, not only did fewer married college grad­
uates ages 25 to 34 have preschool children (53 percent
versus 68 percent in 1970), but those who did have children
under age 6 were far more likely to be in the labor force
(61 percent compared with 34 percent in 1970).4 The labor
force participation rate of 55- to 64-year-old college grad­
uates generally paralleled the downward trend for all women
in this age group during most of the 1970-83 period.
In contrast to the situation among most women, there has
been a decrease in the labor force participation rates of adult
men in all educational attainment groups. For male college
graduates, however, the rate has slipped by only a per­
centage point since 1970. This decline was considerably
less than for men in other educational attainment categories,
and, like that of the other men, it occurred primarily among
those in the older age brackets. One fesult of these con­
trasting male-female labor force trends has been that wom­
en’s share of the college-graduate work force increased,
from 27 percent in 1970 to 38 percent in 1983.
The ongoing decline in the number of school leavers—
workers who have not completed 12 years of formal school­
ing— is an additional factor behind the growth in college
graduates’ share of the adult work force. Between March
1970 and 1983, the total number of school leavers in the
labor force declined by more than 7 million, mostly because
of retirement or death among older workers who have typ­
ically completed fewer years of school than younger work­
ers.

From now until about the end of the decade, the last of the
enormous postwar birth cohort will pass through school and
into the adult labor force. Millions more workers will have
college degrees, as the anticipated number of bachelors’ and
higher degrees awarded will continue to exceed a million a
year for the rest of the 1980’s .1Thus, college graduates will
continue to represent a growing proportion of the labor
force.
Today, nearly 1 in 4 adult workers has completed college.
A little more than a decade ago, in 1970, just 1 in 7 had
as much formal schooling. During the 13-year interval, the
baby-boom generation— now concentrated in the 25- to 34years age group— went to college in record numbers, and,
in most of these years, over a million bachelors’ and ad­
vanced degrees were awarded annually.2 This growth, to­
gether with the fact that labor force participation rates of
college graduates are typically higher than the rates for
persons with fewer years of school, generated significant
increases in the college-educated work force.3

More college graduates
Between 1970 and 1983, the number of 25- to 64-yearold workers with 4 years or more of college increased by
11.5 million. Almost half of this rise was among 25- to 34year-olds, with 35- to 44-year-olds accounting for most of
the rest. While the proportion of working men ages 25 to
64 with a college degree rose by more than two-thirds over
the 1970-83 period, that of women almost doubled. (See
table 1.) Along with the increase in the number of graduates,
the sharp upward trend in women’s labor force participation
was a major factor contributing to this rise. From 1970 to
1983, the labor force participation rate increased for all but
the oldest group of female college graduates, with that of
25- to 34-year-olds rising the most:

Black aed Hispanic workers
Blacks and Hispanics have joined in the general upgrading
of the educational attainment of the population in recent
years. However, their proportions with college degrees con­
tinue to be much lower than that of whites. In 1983, 13
percent of adult black workers and 10 percent of Hispanics
were college graduates, compared with 25 percent of whites.

1Data refer to black and other workers.

Note: Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin groups for 1983 will not sum to
totals because data for the "other races” group are not presented and Hispanics are
included in both the white and black population groups.

2Data are derived from the 1970 census.

among black women reflects, in part, financial need in fam­
ilies where the men, on average, have lower earnings than
white men at all levels of education.6 Also, a larger pro­
portion of black families were maintained by women, 42
percent in March 1983, compared with about 13 percent of
white families and 23 percent of Hispanic families.7
As can be seen, the overall participation rate for Hispanic
women was lower than that for either blacks or whites. This
is partly because more than half of the Hispanic women in
the population had not completed high school, compared

blacks (5 points) and Hispanics (3 points) has been much
smaller than for whites (10 points). For both whites and
blacks, the proportions of adult workers who were school
leavers dropped by about half, while the share for Hispanics
declined by one-third. This difference in the size of the
decline between Hispanics on the one hand, and whites and
blacks on the other, may reflect recent immigration from
countries where the propensity to stay in school is not as
great as in the United States, and public educational op­
portunities are not as widely available.5
Greater educational attainment was linked with higher
labor force participation rates for all race and ethnic groups.
However, labor force rates differed significantly for some
race and sex groups with the same general level of school­
ing. Age was sometimes an important factor. For instance,
among dropouts in the adult labor force, almost 40 percent
of the male Hispanics were 25 to 34 years old, compared
with 25 percent of both whites and blacks. The preponder­
ance of younger workers pushed the labor force participation
for Hispanic male dropouts to 87 percent, compared with
79 percent for whites and 72 percent for blacks. (See table

Black women were much more likely to be in the labor

among dropouts to almost 15 percentage points among col­

dropouts of all races were operators, fabricators, and la­
borers. High school graduates were concentrated in the tech­
nical, sales, and administrative support category, with a
large proportion also working as operators, fabricators, and
laborers. Among workers who had attended but not grad­
uated from college, most were in occupations similar to
those of high school graduates. But of those with 4 years
of college or more, 3 out of 5 were in managerial and
professional specialty occupations.

with only a fourth of the whites and a third of the blacks.
Because labor force participation rates of high school drop­
outs are typically lower than for other education groups, the
concentration of Hispanic women in that category had the
effect of decreasing their overall labor force rate. Also,
relatively more Hispanic than white or black women had
children under age 6, whose presence tends to inhibit moth­
ers’ labor force participation.

New occepatiomal classification

a n a t i o n a l s t a n d p o i n t , a better trained work force
is highly desirable. However, with respect to the college
educated, the growth in the number of adult workers with
degrees carries with it the possibility of an uncertain future
for many young college graduates. This is because the great­
est increase in the number of jobs over the decade to come
is projected for such occupations as janitors, sales clerks,
secretaries, and so forth.9 Thus, the potential exists for a
growing mismatch between actual educational levels and
those required for occupations with the greatest anticipated
growth.10 In other words, many college graduates— perhaps
20 percent— will not be able to get jobs requiring a col­
lege degree, continuing the situation that has prevailed in re­
cent years. Such mismatches could seriously affect the
lives of many young workers and their families for years
to come.

From

The occupational classification system used since the 1970
decennial census has now been replaced by one that links
occupational titles more closely to job function. Beginning
in January 1983, the four traditional summary groups (whitecollar, blue-collar, service, and farm) into which Current
Population Survey ( c p s ) occupational data were divided,
were replaced by the system of six major groups— identified
in table 3— that was used for 1980 census data. Many of
the new occupational categories are different from the old
ones, and the introduction of the new system in 1983 breaks
the continuity somewhat of c p s occupational data series.8
However, the data based on the new classification system
continue to confirm the well-known fact that educational
attainment is one of the most important determinants of
occupation. In March 1983 the largest proportion of school

3 Data in this report are based on tabulations from the March 1983 Current
Population Survey (CPS), conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics by
the Bureau o f the Census. The data relate to persons 25 to 64 years old,
unless otherwise specified. Because these estimates are based on a sample,
they may differ from those obtained if a complete census were conducted.
Sampling variability may be relatively large in cases where the estimates
are small. Small estimates, or small differences between estimates, should
be interpreted with caution. This report is the latest in a series on this
subject. The most recent was Anne McDougall Young, “ Recent trends in

and the first year of college by 13. The medians are
expressed in continuous part-years, although the re­
spondents’ answers to the survey questions are in terms
of complete, discrete years.
Employed persons are (a) all civilians who, during the
survey week, did any w ork at all as paid employees, in
their own business, profession, or on their own farm,
or w ho worked 15 hours or more as unpaid w orkers in
an enterprise operated by a member of the family; and
(b) all those w ho w ere not working but w ho had jobs
or businesses from w hich they w ere tem porarily absent
because of illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-man­
agement disputes, or personal reasons, w hether they
w ere paid for the time off or were seeking other jobs.
Each em ployed person is counted only once. Those
who held more than one job are counted in the job at
w hich they worked the greatest number of hours dur­
ing the survey week.

Statistics on the labor force, employment, unem ploy­
ment, and persons not in the labor force, classified by
a variety o f dem ographic, social, and economic char­
acteristics are derived from the C urrent Population Sur­
vey (CPS), w hich is conducted by the Bureau o f the
Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The infor­
mation is collected by trained interviewers from a sam­
ple o f about 60,000 households, representing 629 areas
in 1,148 counties and independent cities, w ith coverage
in 50 States and the D istrict of Columbia.
T he estimates in this bulletin are based on supple­
m entary questions in the M arch 1982 and 1983 CPS.
These estimates relate to persons 16 years and over in
the civilian noninstitutional population in the calendar
week w hich included M arch 12th o f each year.
T he concepts, definitions, and estimating methods
used in the survey, as well as indicators of the reliabil­
ity o f the data are briefly described below. A more de­
tailed description o f the survey appears in Concepts and
Methods Used in Labor Force Statistics Derived From the
Current Population Survey, BLS R eport 463, and in the
Explanatory Notes o f the BLS monthly publication,
Employment and Earnings.
G ® m ) ( g ( ip f t s n o d

Unemployed persons are all civilians who had no em­
ployment during the survey week, were available for
work, except for tem porary illness, and (a) had made
specific efforts to find employm ent sometime during the
prior 4 weeks, or (b) were waiting to be recalled to a
job from which they had been laid off, or (c) were
waiting to report to a new job within 30 days.
Duration o f unemployment represents the length of
time (through the current survey week) during which
persons classified as unemployed had been continuously
looking for work. F or persons on layoff, duration of
unemployment represents the number of full weeks since
the term ination of their most recent employment. A pe­
riod of 2 weeks or more during which a person was
employed or ceased looking for w ork is considered to
break the continuity of the present period of seeking
work. M easurements of mean and median duration are
com puted from a distribution of single weeks of
unemployment.
The unemployment rate fo r all civilian workers repre­
sents the number unemployed as a percent o f the civil­
ian labor force. This measure can also be com puted for
groups within the labor force classified by sex, age,
race, Hispanic origin, marital status, etc.
N ot in the labor force includes all persons who are
not classified as employed or unemployed. These per­
sons are further classified as engaged in own home
housework, in school, unable to w ork because of long­
term physical or mental illness, retired, and other. The

Educational attainment applies to years of school com ­
pleted in regular schools, w hich include graded public,
private, and parochial elem entary and high schools, col­
leges, universities, and professional schools, w hether
day schools or night schools. Thus, regular schooling
is that which could be expected to advance a person to
an elem entary certificate; a high school diploma; or a
college, university, or professional school degree.
Schooling in other than regular schools is counted only
if the credits obtained are regarded as transferable to a
school in the regular school system.
T he civilian labor force comprises all civilians classi­
fied as employed or unemployed in accordance with
the criteria described below.
Median years o f school completed indicate the value
which divides the population group into tw o equal parts,
one part having com pleted m ore schooling and one part
having com pleted less schooling than the median. F or
purposes of com puting these medians, the years of
school completed are numbered consecutively; for ex­
ample, the first year of high school is indicated by 9

“other” group includes individuals reported as too old
or temporarily unable to work, the voluntarily idle, sea­
sonal workers for whom the survey week fell in an off
season and who were not reported as looking for work,
and persons who did not look for work because they
believed that no jobs were available in the area or that
no jobs were available for which they could
qualify—discouraged workers. Persons doing only in­
cidental, unpaid family work (less than 15 hours in the
specified week) are also classified as not in the labor
force.
Occupation, industry, and class o f worker for the em­
ployed apply to the job held in the survey week. Per­
sons with two or more jobs are classified in the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours dur­
ing the survey week. The unemployed are classified ac­
cording to their last full-time job lasting 2 weeks or
more. The classifications of occupations and industries
used in data derived from the CPS through 1982 are
defined as in the 1970 census. Beginning with 1983 data,
they are defined as in the 1980 census. Information on
the detailed categories included in these groups is avail­
able upon request.
Hours o f work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example,
persons who normally work 40 hours a week but were
off on the Columbus Day holiday would be reported
as working 32 hours even though they were paid for
the holiday. For persons working in more than one job,
the figures relate to the number of hours worked in all
jobs during the week; all the hours are credited to the
major job.
Full-time workers are persons who worked 35 hours
or more during the survey week. Part-time workers are
those who worked 1 to 34 hours during the survey
week. Part-time workers are further classified by their
usual status at their present job (either full or part time)
and by their reasons for working part time during the
survey week (economic or other reasons). “Economic
reasons” include: Slack work, material shortages, re­
pairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of a
job during the week, and inability to find full-time work.
“Other reasons” include: Labor dispute, bad weather,
owe illness, vacation, demands of housework, school,
no desire for full-time work, and full-time worker only
during peak season. Persons with a job but not at work
during the survey week are classified according to
whether they usually work full or part time.
Age is based on the age of the respondent at his or
her last birthday.
White, black, and other are terms used to describe the
race of workers. Included in the “other” group are
American Indians, Alaskian Natives, Asians, and Pa­
cific Islanders, and any other race except white and
black. All tables in this bulletin which contain racial
data present data for the black population group. Be­




cause of their relatively small sample size, data for
“other” races are not published. In the enumeration
process, race is determined by the household
respondent.
Hispanic origin refers to persons who identified them­
selves in the enumeration process as Mexican, Puerto
Rican living on the mainland, Cuban, Central or South
American, or of other Hispanic origin or descent. Per­
sons of Hispanic origin may be of any race; thus they
are included in both the white and black population
groups.
Single, never married; married, spouse present, and other
marital status are terms used to define the marital status
of individuals at the time of interview. Married, spouse
present, applies to husband and wife if both were re­
ported as members of the same household even though
one may be temporarily absent on business, vacation,
on a visit, in a hospital, etc. Other marital status applies
to persons who are married, spouse absent; widowed;
or divorced. Married, spouse absent, includes persons
who are separated because of marital discord, as well
as persons who are living apart because either the hus­
band or the wife was employed and living away from
home, serving in the Armed Forces, or had a different
place of residence for any reason.
E s tim a tin g i l e t t o d s

The estimating procedure used in this survey inflates
weighted sample results to independent estimates of the
civilian noninstitutional population by age, sex, race,
and residence. These independent estimates are based
on data from the 1980 census and other statistics on
births, deaths, immigration, emigration, and the Armed
Forces.
R oun d in g o f th e e s tim a te s

The sums of individual items may not always equal
the totals shown in the same tables because of inde­
pendent rounding of the totals and components to the
nearest thousand. Similarly, sums of percent distribu­
tions may not always equal 100 percent because of
rounding. Differences, however, are insignificant.
R eliability of th@ e s tim a te s

Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may
differ somewhat from the figures that would have been
obtained if a complete census had been taken using the
same schedules and procedures. As in any survey, the
results are also subject to errors of response and report­
ing. These may be relatively large in the case of per­
sons with irregular attachment to the labor force. Par­
ticular care should be exercised in the interpretation of
figures based on relatively small estimates as well as
small differences between estimates.
The standard error is primarily a measure of sampling
variability, that is, of the variations that might occur
6

the labor force participation rate of men w ith 4 years
o f college was 88.8 percent, while the rate for women
w ith that amount o f education was 67.8 percent, an ap­
parent difference of 21.0 percentage points. Table A-3
shows the standard error for 67.8 percent on a base of
7,667,000 women w ith 4 years of college to be approxi­
mately 0.7 percentage point and the standard error for
88.8 on a base of 8,610,000 men w ith 4 years of college
to be approximately 0.5 percentage point. Thus, the
standard error of the estimated difference o f 21.0 per­
centage points is:

by chance because a sample rather than the entire popu­
lation is surveyed. As calculated for this bulletin, the
standard error also partially measures the effect of re­
sponse and enumeration errors but does not meas­
ure any systematic biases in the data. The chances are
about 68 out of 100 that an estimate differs from a com ­
plete census by less than the standard error. The chances
are about 95 out of 100 that the difference would be
less than twice the standard error.
Tables A -l through A-4 show approximations of the
standard errors of estimated numbers and percentages
at the 68-percent confidence level, and should be inter­
preted as providing an indication of the order of mag­
nitude of the standard error rather than a precise stand­
ard error for any specific item. Standard errors for in­
term ediate values may be obtained by interpolation. The
following examples illustrate the use of these tables.
Table B-2 of the supplementary tables shows that
7.646.000 men 16 years and over with 4 years of col­
lege, were in the labor force in M arch 1983. The popu­
lation of all men 16 years and over was 82,260,000. T a­
ble A -l shows the standard error on the labor force
estimate to be approximately 116,800. Thus, the chances
are about 68 out of 100 that the difference between the
sample estimate and a complete census count would be
less than 116,800. The chances are 95 out of 100 that
the difference would be less than 233,600.
T he 7,646,000 men represented 88.8 percent of all
men 16 years and over in the civilian noninstitutional
population with 4 years of college. Table A-3 shows
the standard error of 88.8 percent w ith a base of
8.610.000 (population) to be about 0.5 percent. Conse­
quently, the chances are 68 out of 100 that a complete
census count would have disclosed the figure to be be­
tween 88.3 and 89.3 percent, and 95 out of 100 that the
figure would have been between 87.8 and 89.8 percent.
F o r a difference between tw o sample estimates, the
standard error is approximately equal to the square root
o f the sum of the squares of the standard errors of each
estimate considered separately:

®=\J

(S i)

+

0.86 = \ j (0.7)2 + (0.5)2
This means the chances are 68 out of 100 that the
estimated difference derived using com plete census fig­
ures would differ by less than 0.86 percentage points
and 95 out of 100 that it would differ by less than 1.7
percentage points. Therefore, the conclusion is that at
both levels of confidence, the labor force participation
rate o f men w ith 4 years of college is greater than that
of wom en w ith that m uch education. O f course, should
the standard error be equal to or greater than the esti­
mated difference of percentages based on the sample,
there would be no significant difference between the
percentages.
T he reliability of an estimated percentage, computed
using sample data for both num erator and denomina­
tor, depends upon both the size o f the percentage and
the total upon w hich the percentage is based. Estimated
percentages are relatively more reliable than the corre­
sponding estimates o f the num erator of the percentages;
this is particularly true for percentages o f 50 percent
or more. As a general rule, percentages are not pub­
lished when the m onthly base of the measure is less
than 75,000. Because o f the large standard errors in­
volved, there is little chance that summary measures
would reveal useful information when com puted on a
smaller base. Estim ated numbers are shown, however,
even though the relative standard errors of these num­
bers are larger than those for corresponding percent­
ages. These smaller estimates are provided primarily to
perm it such combinations of the categories as serve
each user’s needs.
