  • Notes: The weights are the inverse of the squared standard errors on the state–year interaction coefficients in the individual regression for attainment of 12 years of education, by race/ ethnicity. The individual regressions are weighted with census weights adjusted so that the sum of weights for each year reflects the sample size of the census in that year. State personal income per capita is measured in nominal dollars. Whites are non-Hispanic whites.
