1 Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only;

persons who selected more than one race group are not included. Prior to

2003, persons who reported more than one race group were included in

the group they identified as their main race.

 NOTE: Estimates for the race groups (white, black or African American,

and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all

races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or

Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well

as race. 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.
