This E.D. TAB report presents selected data on adults' participation in work-related educational activities in the United States over a 12-month period from 2002-03.

Interviews were conducted with a nationally representative sample of the civilian, non-institutionalized population age 16 or older who were not enrolled in grade 12 or below. Data were collected from early January through April 2003. A total of 12,725 telephone interviews were completed with adults representing a weighted total of 206,532,725.
