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.

 NOTE: Data for 2001 have been revised to reflect the introduction of

Census 2000-based population controls. In addition, data on "represented by

unions" incorporate a minor change to the allocation procedure for that item.

The change in procedure had a neligible affect on the estimates. Some

estimates for 2002 will differ slightly from those previously published in USDL

03-88, "Union Members in 2002." These differences are due to a change in the

way the data were processed. Data refer to the sole or principal job of full-time

workers. Excluded are all self-employed workers regardless of whether or not

their businesses are incorporated. 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.
