1 A person may have more than one certification or license.

2 Persons with a license may also have a certification.

NOTE: Certifications are issued by a non-governmental certification body and convey that an individual has the knowledge or skill to perform a

specific job. A license is awarded by a government agency and conveys a legal authority to work in an occupation. Full time is 35 hours or more per

week. Data are for wage and salary workers; all self-employed workers are excluded, both those with incorporated businesses and those with

unincorporated businesses. Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of January data. Dash indicates no data or data that

do not meet publication criteria (values not shown where base is less than 50,000).
