         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.
