1. In FY 2003 there was a change in the way DoD reported race/ethnicity data.  The new race/ethnicity data were only made available for the last three quarters of FY2003.  Thus, the FY 2003 data includes percentages for NPS accessions by race/ethnic for the last three quarters of FY 2003 only. Since we do not have full year totals, we omit the total number of accessions.
Source: Military data are provided by the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC).  Civilian data prior to 1989 represent calendar year.  Civilian data through 2015 are from Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Population Survey monthly files provided by DMDC. Data since 2016, were produced using Current Population Survey data by CNA replicating DMDC's approach for earlier periods.
