PROFILES OF THE ADULT EDUCATION TARGET POPULATION

Information from the 2000 Census

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.
