Predicted Probabilities of Educational Attainment by Ethnoracial Origin

Source: Authors' compilation based on the 2008-2012 CPS ASEC (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2012). Note: Combined sample is limited to population age twenty-five and older. The four native (third-and-higher-generation) groups are non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Hispanic and non-Hispanic Asian. The four second-generation groups are Chinese, Cuban, Armenian, and Nigerian. Predicted probabilities are based on multivariate models, which also controlled for gender, age, quadratic tem of age, region, and survey year, holding these control variables at mean value.
