1 Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only; persons

who selected more than one race group are not included. Prior to 2003,

persons who reported more than one race group were included in the group

they identified as the main race. For more information, see the "Explanatory

Notes and Estimates of Error" section of this publication. 2 Employed persons are classified as full- or part-time workers based on

their usual weekly hours at all jobs regardless of the number of hours they

are at work during the reference week. Persons absent from work also are

classified according to their usual status.

 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. Beginning in January 2003, data reflect revised population

controls used in the household survey. Occupations and industries reflect

the introduction of the 2002 census occupational and industry classification

systems derived from the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification system

and the 2002 North American Industry Classification System into the Current

Population Survey.
