FULL- OR PART-TIME STATUS3

1 Data refer to members of a labor union or an employee association

similar to a union. 2 Data refer to members of a labor union or an employee association

similar to a union as well as workers who report no union affiliation but whose

jobs are covered by a union or an employee association contract. 3 The distinction between full- and part-time workers is based on hours

usually worked. These data will not sum to totals because full- or part-time

status on the principal job is not identifiable for a small number of multiple

jobholders.

 NOTE: Beginning in January 2004, data reflect revised population

controls used in the household survey. 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. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is

identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are

classified by ethnicity as well as race. Data refer to the sole or principal job of

full- and part-time workers. Excluded are all self-employed workers regardless

of whether or not their businesses are incorporated.
