Percent of persons 25 years or older who have received a high school diploma or its equivalent (e.g. GED) or higher (e.g. college or professional school). 3. Percent of persons 16 years old and over in the labor force who are currently employed. 4. Percent of residents age 5 and older who were not living in the same dwelling five years ago.5.
