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 the main race. For more information, see the "Explanatory

Notes and Estimates of Error" section of this publication.

 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. 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 by race. Occupations reflect the introduction of the 2002 Census

occupational classification system derived from the 2000 Standard

Occupational Classification system into the Current Population Survey. 

Beginning in January 2003, data reflect revised population controls used in

the household survey.
