   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/  The distinction between full- and part-time workers is based on hours usually worked. Beginning in 1994, these data          
will not sum to totals because full- or part-time status on the principal job is not identifiable for a small number of             
multiple jobholders.                                                                                                                
   NOTE:  Data refer to the sole or principal job of full- and part-time workers.  Excluded are self-employed workers whose         
businesses are incorporated although they technically qualify as wage and salary workers.  Detail for the above race and            
Hispanic-origin groups will not sum to totals because data for the "other races" group are not presented and Hispanics are          
included in both the white and black population groups.                                                                                                                                        - 1 -
