5 years of schooling reported income from nonfarm employment. This contrasts

with a proportion of about two-thirds for those households headed by individuals

with 5 or more years of schooling. More than 80 percent of the households

whose family head had a college-level education reported this source of income.

 In general, the proportion of households in the higher nonfarm employ-

ment income classes increased with the educational attainment of the family

head (Table 84). Among those households whose family head had less than 5

grades of schooling, 11 percent reported nonfarm work incomes above $3,000.

This compares with 28 percent of the households whose head had from 5 through

8 years of schooling, 53 percent of the households whose family head had a high

school education, and 70 percent with the family head having a college level
