<p>I need help finding a few college statistics. I was hoping somebody here knew them.
I found quite a bit here The</a> 2010 Statistical Abstract: Education
Census Bureau is incredible. 72.2% of individuals that obtain a bachelors degree (in the US) are white.</p>
<p>Anyways, I need to find:
The percent of individuals who's parents did not go to college that go to college.
and
The percent of individuals who's parent/parents had drug problems or sold drugs that did not go to college.</p>
<p>Sorry if this seems really random, But I am having problems finding these, and since I absolutely need to, I thought maybe somewhere on here would.</p>
<p>Your questions are at issue here IAMChris: the % of people who are offspring of non-college attending parents who themselves don’t go to college?</p>
<p>You’re looking at a set of data that would have to collected over time – say people born between 1990 and 1992 – and then how many of their mothers (b/c fathers’ education usually isn’t indicated) have no college. Then see if anyone has tracked these kids. </p>
<p>And how are you going to find statistics about children of drug-related parents? Really?</p>
<p>You need to go to your reference librarian and hope for some direction into demographic studies. What you’re hoping for won’t be so easily found. You’re going to have to scour journals to find data such as what you’re hoping to find.</p>
<p>For you to just magically wish for the “percentage numbers” of these two very complicated scenarios really shows your unfamiliarity with how demographers gather and analyze data.</p>
<p>(and what’s so unusual about the 72% white stat about Bachelors conferrals?)</p>
