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

a union.

2 Data refer to both union members and workers who report no union affiliation

but whose jobs are covered by a union or an employee association contract. 3 The distinction between full- and part-time workers is based on hours usually

worked. These data will not sum to totals because full- or part-time status on the

principal job is not identifiable for a small number of multiple jobholders.

 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. 

Persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race. 

Data refer to the sole or principal job of full- and part-time wage and salary

workers. All self-employed workers are excluded, both those with incorporated

businesses as well as those with unincorporated businesses. Updated population

controls are introduced annually with the release of January data.
