       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.
       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.
