2 Persons with a license may also have a certification.

Includes persons with a high school diploma or equivalent.

4

NOTE: Certifications are issued by a non-governmental certification body and convey that an individual has the knowledge or skill to perform a

specific job. A license is awarded by a government agency and conveys a legal authority to work in an occupation. Estimates for the above race

groups (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. Persons whose ethnicity is

identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race. Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of January data.
