NOTE: Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of January data. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria (values not

shown where base is less than 50,000). Effective with January 2011 data, occupations reflect the introduction of the 2010 Census occupational classification system into the

Current Population Survey, or household survey. This classification system is derived from the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). No historical data have been

revised. Data for 2011 are not strictly comparable with earlier years.
