       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.
       NOTE:    Beginning in January 2006, data reflect revised population controls used in the household survey. 
     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 race.  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.
