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

 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.
