### User note about the redesign of the CPS detailed table package for Educational Attainment in the United States: 2007 

The Education and Social Stratification Branch has produced tables on
educational attainment from the CPS since 1940. Beginning in 2007, the
annual detailed table package was revised. The chart below outlines the
changes between the 2006 and 2007 table packages. The chart also
identifies related tables available from ACS, which are accessible
through [American
FactFinder](http://factfinder.census.gov/home/saff/main.html?_lang=en).

The Census Bureau also provides additional data access options. The
[Data Ferret](http://dataferrett.census.gov/) tool allows users to
create custom tabulations from the CPS March Supplement from 1992 to
present. The [CPS Table
Creator](http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/cpstc/cps_table_creator.html) is
a web-based application where users can create custom tabulations of
educational attainment and other select characteristics from the 2003
ASEC to present. Data files for CPS are available for download from the
[CPS website](http://www.census.gov/cps/) or can be obtained through the
[National Bureau of Economic Research](http://www.nber.org/) or for a
fee from [Unicon Research Corporation](http://www.unicon.com/).
