This indicator represents the percentage of the early- to mid-career population that has earned a postsecondary degree. Postsecondary degree holders include those with an associate's, bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree, granted from either a public or private institution. The indicator represents where postsecondary degree holders live rather than where they were educated. The age cohort of 25–44 years represents the group most likely to have completed a postsecondary program.
