Revised – December 2005*

*This document supersedes the original report published in April 2004, which contained an error in the number of individuals in the adult education target population. That number is larger than it should be because it includes individuals aged 16 or older who are still enrolled in school. The figures for total adult population have also changed. These errors have been corrected throughout the revised report.

Section 1: Overview and National Profiles

Section 1: Overview and National Profiles

The primary purpose of this document is to present national, regional, and state profiles

of the target population for adult education, that is, those individuals aged 16 years and over,

who have not attained a high school diploma or equivalent and are not currently enrolled in

school. The tables contained in this report describe the following characteristics of the target

population: the number of years of school they have completed, their ages, their gender, their

proficiency with the English language, their status with regard to poverty levels, their race and/or

ethnicity, and their employment status.

In the first section of this report we provide a brief overview of the adult education

program as administered by the U.S. Department of Education, a description of the data base on

which the tables are based, and a glossary of terms used in the tables. Section 1 concludes with a

discussion of the adult education target population at the national level.1

The second section presents tables describing the target population within each of the five

areas into which the Division of Adult Education and Literacy (DAEL) divides the states for

administrative purposes (Northeast, South, Midwest, West, and a fifth area that includes Puerto

Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands), and the third section presents the same information for each

state, with the states arranged alphabetically.

Overview of the Program

For nearly 40 years, the federal government has provided funds to assist states in

establishing and expanding basic education programs for individuals age 16 and over who have

not completed high school. The types of services and providers funded under federal legislation,

as well as the program’s target population, have changed a number of times since it began.

Originally established under the Adult Education Act of 1966, the adult education program is

currently governed by the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), which is Title II

of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998, as amended (P.L. 105-220). WIA makes the

adult education program part of a new “one-stop” career center system that includes many

federally funded employment and training programs.

1 Section 1 includes data for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. territories of Guam

and the Virgin Islands. For simplicity, we refer to these geographic entities as “the states.”

Information from the 2000 Census 1-1

Page 10: PROFILES OF THE ADULT EDUCATION TARGET POPULATIONof the target population for adult education, that is, those individuals aged 16 years and over, who have not attained a high school

Section 1: Overview and National Profiles

The adult education program is administered by DAEL in the Office of Vocational and

Adult Education, U.S. Department of Education. AEFLA provides funding to states to establish

and expand basic education programs for adults. As indicated in Section 202, its purpose is:

…to create a partnership among the Federal Government, States, and localities to provide, on a voluntary basis, adult education and literacy services, in order to—

(1) assist adults to become literate and obtain the knowledge and skills necessary for employment and self-sufficiency;

(2) assist adults who are parents to obtain the educational skills necessary to become full partners in the educational development of their children; and

(3) assist adults in the completion of a secondary school education.

“Adult education” is defined as services or instruction below the postsecondary level for

individuals who are 16 and over, and who are not enrolled, or required to be enrolled, in

secondary school. Eligible individuals must also “lack sufficient mastery of basic educational

skills to enable the individuals to function effectively in society”; lack a high school diploma or

equivalent; or be “…unable to speak, read, or write the English language.”

AEFLA allocates each state a minimum grant of $250,000, with the balance of the federal

allocation distributed according to the state’s ratio of adults between the ages of 16 and 60 who

do not have a high school diploma or equivalent, are not enrolled in secondary school, and are

beyond the age of compulsory school attendance. To receive federal funds, each state must

submit a State Plan that includes an assessment of state needs for adult education services,

including “those most in need or hardest to serve” (P.L. 105-220, Section 224(b)(1)). States must

also indicate how they will serve special populations that include low-income students,

individuals with disabilities, single parents, “displaced homemakers” (i.e., individuals who

previously worked primarily as homemakers, but whose circumstances now require them to

obtain other employment), and individuals with multiple barriers to educational enhancement,

including persons with limited English proficiency. Plans must include a description of the way

in which Title II services will be coordinated with other adult education, career development, and

employment and training activities in the state.

For the last several years, the federal government has also provided special funding for

English Language/Civics Education programs. These programs combine English as a Second

Language (ESL) instruction and civics education, which is defined as “…contextualized

instruction on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, naturalization procedures, civic

participation, and U.S. history and government to help learners acquire the skills and knowledge

to become active and informed parents, workers, and community members” (Federal Register,

November 17, 1999). Half of this funding, which is also distributed by the Office of Vocational

and Adult Education, is allocated to states with the largest absolute need for services; the other

half of the federal allocation is based on recent growth in the need for services.

2000 Census of Population and Housing

The data base we used to construct the tables for this report was the 2000 Census of

Population and Housing, specifically the Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS). We prepared

tables for variables contained in the PUMS that were of interest to DAEL. Several of the data

items contained here, including educational attainment and English proficiency, were not

collected for the entire United States population but only for a sample of the population. The

PUMS data base contains these data items (as well as all other data items on both the Long and

Short Census Forms) for a five percent sample of the households in the country, with sampling

weights to generate estimates of the total population. Therefore, the tables contained here

present statistically derived estimates of the numbers of individuals within specific categories for

each state.

Definition of Terms

For purposes of this report, we have defined the following terms as indicated below:

Adult population: individuals aged 16 years and over.

Adult education target population: individuals aged 16 years and over, who have not attained a high school diploma or equivalent and are not currently enrolled in school.

ESL: English as a second language; this term is used to describe members of the target population who speak English as a second language, regardless of their level of proficiency in English.

LEP: limited English proficient (or proficiency); this term is used to describe members of the target population who speak English as a second language and who have rated their ability to speak English as “well,” “not well,” or “not at all.” It does not include ESL adults who speak English “very well.”

Information from the 2000 Census 1-3

Page 12: PROFILES OF THE ADULT EDUCATION TARGET POPULATIONof the target population for adult education, that is, those individuals aged 16 years and over, who have not attained a high school

Section 1: Overview and National Profiles

LEP adults with diploma: adults with limited English proficiency (as defined above) who have attained a high school diploma or equivalent.

Level of educational attainment: the number of years of school completed.

Poverty status (100 percent): whether or not the individual’s household income is equal to or less than 100 percent of the poverty threshold for a household of that size and composition, as calculated by the Census Bureau and based on guidelines from the Social Security Administration and the Office of Management and Budget.

Poverty status (125 percent): whether or not the individual’s household income is equal to or less than 125 percent of the poverty threshold for a household of that size and composition, as calculated by the Census Bureau and based on guidelines from the Social Security Administration and the Office of Management and Budget.

Race/ethnicity: We used the primary race categories defined by the Census, with the designations of Hispanic or Latino origin.

National Profile of the Adult Education Target Population

We prepared a basic set of 14 tables for each of the states, describing the adult education

target population for the state in terms of the variables indicated previously: level of educational

attainment, age, gender, English language ability (for speakers of English as a second language),

poverty, race/ethnicity, and employment status (see Section 3). These tables may be useful to

individual states in planning outreach and services for this population.

This basic set of 14 tables was also prepared for each of the five service areas—

Northeast, South, Midwest, West, and a fifth area including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin

Islands (see Section 2). For the nation as a whole, we prepared not only those same 14 tables

(see Tables A through L, included at the end of this section), but also a number of tables that

provide a quick overview of the differences among the states (see Tables 1 through 4). Before

moving on to the individual tables, though, we present below some of the highlights of the

national data.

Section 1: Overview and National Profiles

Highlights of the National Data on the Adult Education Target Population

• More than 40 million adults, or approximately 21 percent of the adult population of the United States, possess limited literacy capability—that is, they have not completed a high school diploma or equivalent. These individuals make up the adult education target population (see Figure 1 and Tables A and B).

Nontarget Adults74.3%

LEP Adults with Diploma

4.3%

Adult Education Target with ESL

7.2%

Other Target Adults14.2%

Within individual states, the percentage of adults in the target population ranges from a low of 12.9 percent in Minnesota to a high of 41.4 percent in Puerto Rico. In 13 states, more than one-quarter of all adults fall within the adult education target population (Table 1).

• Twelve states have over a million individuals in their adult education target populations

(Table 1).

• Of the target population, 37 percent (or about 8 percent of the total adult population) have completed eight or fewer years of education (Table 2).

• Adults who have completed four or fewer years of schooling constitute 11.3 percent of the target population (Figure 2, Table A), or 2.4 percent of the total adult population.2 These percentages are reduced slightly (to 10.7 and 1.5 percent, respectively) if we include only those who are less than 60 years old (Table C).

2 Figure 2 shows the number of individuals who have completed 0 to 4, 5 to 8, and 9 to 12 years of schooling. The

latter category includes individuals who met attendance, but not graduation, requirements (e.g., who did not pass end-of-grade tests), as well as special education students who received Certificates of Completion rather than diplomas.

Page 14: PROFILES OF THE ADULT EDUCATION TARGET POPULATIONof the target population for adult education, that is, those individuals aged 16 years and over, who have not attained a high school

Section 1: Overview and National Profiles

• For 33 percent of the adult education target population, English is their second language. Thus, adult education programs need to reach large numbers of individuals who may have limited proficiency in English (Figure 3, Table E-1).

Figure 3. ESL Target Adults and English Ability*

• In 16 states, more than one-third of the members of the target population speak English as a second language; in six states the proportion of ESL speakers exceeds one-half (Table 4).

Very well9.2%

Well7.2%

Not well9.5%Not at all

7.5%

Other Target Adults66.5%

• In addition to the individuals with ESL in the target population, an additional 8.1 million adults, although they have completed high school, speak English (their second language) less than “very well.” These adults are not technically members of the target population, but they have a need for and demand services from adult education programs because of their limited English proficiency. If this group were added to the target population, they would constitute 17 percent of that total (Tables 4, E-2, and E-3). States with the largest numbers of limited English proficient adults with diplomas include: Illinois, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, Florida, Texas, New York, and California. The numbers of such individuals in these states range from approximately 383,000 to 1.8 million (Table 4).

• Fifty-two percent of adults in the general population are women. In the target population, women and men are equally distributed (about 50 percent each) (Table D).

• Thirty-seven percent of the adult education target population is 60 or more years old. Twelve percent are 16 to 24 years old. Thirty-one percent are between the ages of 25 and 44 (Figure 4, Table C).

Section 1: Overview and National Profiles

• About one-quarter of the target population lives in households that are considered at or below the poverty level (Figure 5, Tables F and G).

Figure 5. Poverty Status of Adult Education Target Population

• With regard to the racial distribution of the members of the target population, about 65 percent are White, 15 percent are Black or African American, 3 percent are Asian, 3 percent are members of two or more major race groups, 1 percent are American Indian and Alaska Native, less than 1 percent are Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and 12 percent are some other race (Figure 6, Table H).

• Thirty-eight percent of the adult education target population was employed, and about 5 percent was unemployed. The majority of the target population (57 percent) was not in the labor force (Table I).3

3 “Employed” individuals are those who did any work for pay or profit, helped without pay in a family business or

farm, were on active duty in the Armed Forces, or were temporarily absent from a job or business, during a specified week. “Unemployed” individuals are those who were not employed during the reference week, made specific efforts to find a job within the previous four weeks, and were available for work. All other persons 16 years and over are classified as “not in the labor force.”

Section 1: Overview and National Profiles

Figure 7. Adult Education Target Population, Employment Status by Years of Schooling

• Individuals with 9 to 12 years of schooling were more likely than others to be in the labor force (i.e., to be either “employed” or “unemployed”) (Figure 7, Table J).

• Although individuals between the ages of 16 and 24 accounted for less than 12 percent of the target population, 30 percent of those who were unemployed fell into this age group. Individuals between the ages of 25 and 44 were most likely to be employed (Figure 8, Table K).
