1 Data refer to members of a labor union or an employee association

similar to a union. 2 Data refer to members of a labor union or an employee association

similar to a union as well as workers who report no union affiliation but whose

jobs are covered by a union or an employee association contract. 3 Data not shown where base is less than 50,000.

 NOTE: Data refer to the sole or principal job of full-time workers. Excluded

are all self-employed workers regardless of whether or not their businesses

are incorporated. Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin groups will not

sum to totals because data for the "other races" group are not presented and

Hispanics are included in both the white and black population groups.

Beginning in January 1999, data reflect revised population controls used in the

household survey.
