1 Employed persons are classified as full- or part-time workers based on their

usual weekly hours at all jobs regardless of the number of hours they are at work

during the reference week. Persons absent from work also are classified

according to their usual status. 2 Includes some persons at work 35 hours or more classified by their reason

for working part time.

 NOTE: 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. 

Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of January

data. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria.
