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. 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. Persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race. Dash indicates no data or data that do not

meet publication criteria (values not shown where base is less than 50,000). Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of

January data.
