Why do college graduates make up a majority of officer grades but a very tiny portion of enlisted?

As a whole, the U.S. military is far better educated than the American population it defends. 82.8% of U.S. military officers in 2010 had at least a bachelor’s degree, compared to 29.9 percent of the general population. 93.6% of enlisted soldiers had at least a high school diploma, compared to 59.5% of America.

Not sure how that 82.8% is supposed to work.
Are they saying that the remaining 17.2% have a Master's or higher or that they are in the degree completion program (OCS graduates must have their Bachelor's degree before they pin Captain or they lose their commission)...or are they including Warrant Officers in that total?
