The Census Bureau is reporting this milestone: For the first time, more working American women have bachelor and advanced degrees than their male co-workers.

Census figures released today show that as of last year for workers ages 25 and older, 37% of women had a bachelor's degree or more, compared with 35% of men. As they moved from the home and into the workforce, women began surpassing men in college enrollment in the 1980s, the Associated Press notes.

Overall, 30% of adults 25 and older, or 60 million people, had at least a bachelor's degree. That's an increase of 4 percentage points from 2000.

Some other highlights:

* 87% of adults 25 and older had at least a high school diploma or equivalent, up from 84% in 2000. * Of the 200 million people 25 and older in 2010, 26 million had not completed high school, while 174 million had at least a high school education. * 52% of Asians 25 and older had a bachelor's degree or more, compared with 33% for non-Hispanic whites, 20% for blacks and 14% for Hispanics. * 30% of foreign-born U.S. residents had less than a high school diploma, compared with 10% of native-born residents and 19% of naturalized citizens. * 29% of the foreign-born population had a bachelor's or higher degree, compared with 30% of U.S.-born citizens and 35% of naturalized citizens.
