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 Includes other industries, not shown separately.

 NOTE: Effectively with January 2009 data, industries reflect the introduction of

the 2007 census industry classification system into the Current Population Survey.

This industry classification system is derived from the 2007 North American

Industry Classification System. No historical data have been revised. Data refer

to the sole or principal job of full- and part-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.
