       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.
       NOTE:  Data for 2001 have been revised to reflect the introduction of Census 2000-based population controls.  In addition, data
     on "represented by unions" incorporate a minor change to the allocation procedure for that item.  The change in procedure had a
     neligible affect on the estimates. Some estimates for 2002 will differ slightly from those previously published in USDL 03-88,
     "Union Members in 2002."  These differences are due to a change in the way the data were processed.  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.
