 NOTE: Generally, data for occupations with fewer than 50,000 employed as

well as for certain other occupations are not published separately but are

included in the totals for the appropriate categories shown. Therefore, detailed

occupations may not always sum to the broader categories. Dash represents or

rounds to zero. Occupations reflect the introduction of the 2002 Census

occupational classification system derived from the 2000 Standard

Occupational Classification system into the Current Population Survey. 

Beginning in January 2003, data reflect revised population controls used in the

household survey.
