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. 4 Includes other industries, not shown separately.

 NOTE: Data for 2002 have been revised to incorporate changes to the

class of worker status associated with the introduction of the 2002 Census

industry and occupational classification systems into the Current Population

Survey. Beginning in January 2003, data reflect revised population controls

used in the household survey. Occupations and industries reflect the

introduction of the 2002 Census occupational and industry classification

systems derived from the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification

system and the 2002 North American Industry Classification System into the

Current Population Survey. 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.
