       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.
       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.  Excluded are all self-employed workers regardless of whether or not their
     businesses are incorporated.  Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of January data.
