    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 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.  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.
