* = standard error is not calculated when estimate is less than 500; S = standard error is not calculated when estimate is suppressed for reliability or confidentiality.
S&E = science and engineering.

b
"Other" includes Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander and non-Hispanic respondents reporting 2 or more races.
Total includes professional degrees not broken out separately.
NOTES: Scientists and engineers include any person who has ever received a bachelor's or higher degree in a science or engineering (S&E) or S&E-related field, plus any person holding a non-S&E bachelor's or higher degree
who was employed in a S&E or S&E-related occupation in 2003. See http://sestat.nsf.gov/docs/ed03maj.html for a detailed description of the educational field classification. Standard errors of less than 500 are rounded up to 500
and standard errors equal to or greater than 500 are rounded up to the nearest thousand.
