       1 Data refer to members of a labor union or an employee association similar to a union.
       2 Data refer to both union members and 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. 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: 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- and part-time wage and salary workers.  All self-employed workers are excluded, both those with incorporated
     businesses as well as those with unincorporated businesses.  Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of
     January data.
