(Answer by the way, is no, they are more likely to be married if they have a college degree). I use ACS to prepare presentations to teach middle school students about statistics, for example, the percentage of people who say they are of more than one race. I cannot fathom what the Republicans have against it. Yes, by the way, I own a small business – a consulting company – and I have been in business 27 years.
