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 The distinction between full- and part-time workers is based on hours

usually worked. Beginning in 1994, 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: 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- and

part-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.

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- and

part-time workers. Excluded are all self-employed workers regardless of

whether or not their businesses are incorporated.

1 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: The prevailing Federal minimum wage was $5.15 per hour in

2002. Data are for wage and salary workers, excluding the incorporated

self-employed. They refer to a person’s earnings on their sole or

principal job, and pertain only to workers who are paid hourly rates.

Salaried workers and other nonhourly workers are not included. The

presence of workers with hourly earnings below the minimum wage

does not necessarily indicate violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act,

as there are exceptions to the minimum wage provisions of the law. In

addition, some survey respondents might have rounded hourly earnings

to the nearest dollar, and, as a result, reported hourly earnings below

the minimum wage even though they earned the minimum wage or

higher. 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.

military duty; and maternity or paternity leave. Excluded are situations in

which work was missed due to vacation or personal days, holiday, labor

dispute, and other reasons. For multiple jobholders, absence data refer

only to work missed at their main jobs. The absence rate is the ratio of
