  association contract.

    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.
