         1 Employed persons are classified as full- or part-time workers based on their usual weekly hours at all jobs regardless of

       their usual status.
         NOTE:   Estimates for the above race groups (white, black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data
       are not presented for all races.  Beginning in January 2005, data reflect revised population controls used in the household
       survey.  Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria.
