Abstract	This resource book contains demographic data for the eight states of the Mountain Plains Adult Education Association. All information is current (1990-92) and comes from the national census and hundreds of research studies. Chapter I provides a demographic perspective of the nation, describes a holistic view of demographics, and discusses implications for adult and continuing education. Chapters II-IX present data by state: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Data on people include growth, urbanization, and ethnicity. Data on education are provided in the following categories: adult basic education--state system for public-supported programs; postsecondary education--state system for public-supported community colleges and universities, private colleges and universities, public-supported vocational technical schools, private vocational technical and proprietary schools, and student assistance programs; master planning for higher education; cultural institutions; historic sites; and communications media. Information on government is followed by data on the economy: agriculture, forestry, mining, manufacturing, tourism, transportation, and energy. Other data include the following: annual performance report in adult education, Tests of General Educational Development, estimates of levels of proficiency in basic skills, accredited institutions of postsecondary education, members of the executive and legislative branches, and senators and representatives in Congress. Names, addresses, and telephone numbers are listed. Chapter X contains socioeconomic indicators in the Mountain Plains states. Chapter XI discusses implications for adult and continuing education. There are 208 tables and 133 figures. Sources are listed for each state and in an appendix. (YLB)
