1 Data refer to members of a labor union or an employee association similar

to a union.

2 Data refer to both union members and workers who report no union

affiliation but whose jobs are covered by a union or an employee association

contract.

3 Data refer to workers who are neither members of a union nor represented

by a union on their job.

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

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

all races. Persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of

any race. Data refer to the sole or principal job of full- time wage and salary

workers. All self-employed workers are excluded, both those with incorporated

businesses as well as those with unincorporated businesses. Updated

population controls are introduced annually with the release of January data.
