Final answer:

The exact percentage of people over twenty-five currently enrolled in degree-granting programs is not provided in the given statistics. However, it was reported that in 2014, about 33.6% of 25-65 year olds had bachelor's degrees, and 7.4% had earned a master's degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to the percentage of people over the age of twenty-five in degree-granting programs. Based on statistics, it's clear that while a large portion of the adult population has achieved some form of higher education, not all pursue it immediately or continuously throughout their lives. Given this context, none of the provided statistics directly answer the question, and therefore, an updated reference would be required to accurately respond.

It is notable, however, that according to the BLS, in 2014, approximately 33.6% of 25-65 year olds had bachelor's degrees, and about 7.4% had earned a master's degree. Although these figures offer insight into educational attainment among adults over 25, they do not specify the current enrollment in degree programs.
