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.

(1) Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only;
persons who selected more than one race group are not included.
Prior to 2003, persons who reported more than one race group
were included in the group they identified as the main race.
For more information, see the “Explanatory Notes and Estimates
of Error” section of this publication.
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. 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 by race. Occupations reflect
the introduction of the 2002 Census occupational classification
system derived from the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification
system into the Current Population Survey.
Beginning in January 2003, data reflect revised population controls
used in the household survey.

(2) Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only;
persons who selected more than one race group are not included. Prior
to 2003, persons who reported more than one race group were included
in the group they identified as the main race. For more information,
see the “Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error” section of this
publication.
— Dash represents or rounds to zero.
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. 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 by race. Industries reflect
the introduction of the 2002 Census industry classification system
derived from the 2002 North American Industry Classification System
into the Current Population Survey. Beginning in January 2003, data
reflect revised population controls used in the household survey.

(1) Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only;
persons who selected more than one race group are not included. Prior
to 2003, persons who reported more than one race group were included
in the group they identified as the main race. For more information,
see the “Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error” section of this
publication.
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. Industries and occupations reflect the
introduction of the 2002 census industry and occupation classification
systems derived from the 2002 North American Industry Classification
System and the 2000 Standard Occupation Classification system
into the Current Population Survey. Beginning in January 2003, data
reflect revised population controls used in the household survey.

persons who selected more than one race group are not included. Prior
to 2003, persons who reported more than one race group were included
in the group they identified as the main race. For more information,
see the “Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error” section of this
publication.
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. 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 by race. Nonagricultural

persons who selected more than one race group are not included. Prior
to 2003, persons who reported more than one race group were included
in the group they identified as the main race. For more information,
see the “Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error” section of this
publication.
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. 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 by race. Beginning in January
2003, data reflect revised population controls used in the household
survey.

persons who selected more than one race group are not included.
Prior to 2003, persons who reported more than one race group were
included in the group they identified as the main race. For more
information, see the “Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error”
section of this publication.
NOTE: The jobseekers total is less than the total unemployed because
it does not include persons on temporary layoff. The percent using
each method will always total more than 100 because many jobseekers
use more than one method. 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 by race.
Beginning in January 2003, data reflect revised population controls
used in the household survey.

NOTE: Estimates for the 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 for 2002 have been revised to
incorporate changes to the class of worker status associated with the
introduction of the 2002 Census industry and occupational classification
systems into the Current Population Survey. Beginning in January 2003,
data reflect revised population controls used in the household survey.

(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) Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only;
persons who selected more than one race group are not included. Prior
to 2003, persons who reported more than one race group were included in
the group they identified as their main race. For more information, see
the “Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error” section of this
publication.
(4) 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: Data for 2002 have been revised to incorporate changes to the
class of worker status associated with the introduction of the 2002
Census industry and occupational classification systems into the
Current Population Survey. Beginning in January 2003, 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.

(1) Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only;
persons who selected more than one race group are not included.
Prior to 2003, persons who reported more than one race group were
included in the group they identified as their main race. For more
information, see the “Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error”
section of this publication.
(2) 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: The prevailing Federal minimum wage was $5.15 per hour in
2003. Data are for wage and salary workers, excluding the incorporated
self-employed. They refer to a persons earnings on their sole or
principal job, and pertain only to workers who are paid hourly rates.
Salaried workers and other nonhourly workers are not included. The
presence of workers with hourly earnings below the minimum wage does
not necessarily indicate violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as
there are exceptions to the minimum wage provisions of the law. In
addition, some survey respondents might have rounded hourly earnings to
the nearest dollar, and, as a result, reported hourly earnings below
the minimum wage even though they earned the minimum wage or higher.
Beginning in January 2003, data reflect revised population controls
used in the household survey.

(1) Includes other industries, not shown separately.
NOTE. The prevailing Federal minimum wage was $5.15 per hour in
2003. Data are for wage and salary workers, excluding the incorporated
self-employed. They refer to a person’s earnings on their sale or
principal job, and pertain only to workers who are paid hourly rates.
Salaried workers and other nonhourly workers are not included. The
presence of workers with hourly earnings below the minimum wage does
not necessarily indicate violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as
there are exceptions to the minimum wage provisions of the law. In
addition, some survey respondents might have rounded hourly earnings to
the nearest dollar, and, as a result, reported hourly earnings below
the minimum wage even though they earned the minimum wage or higher.
Beginning in January 2003, data reflect revised population controls
used in the household survey. Occupations and industries reflect the
introduction of the 2002 Census occupational and industry
classification systems derived from the 2000 Standard Occupational
Classification system and the 2002 North American Industry
Classification System into the Current Population Survey.

(1) Absences are defined as instances when persons who usually work
35 or more hours a week worked less than 35 hours during the reference
week for one of the following reasons: Own illness, injury, or medical
problems, child-care problems; other family or personal obligations,
civic or military duty; and maternity or paternity leave. Excluded are
situations in which work was missed due to vacation or personal days,
holiday, labor dispute, and other reasons. For multiple jobholders,
absence data refer only to work missed at their main jobs. The absence
rate is the ratio of workers with absences to total full-time wage and
salary employment. The estimates of full-time wage and salary
employment shown in this table do not match those in other tables
because the estimates in this table are based on the full CPS sample
and those in the other tables are based on a quarter of the sample
only.
(2) Hours absent as a percent of hours usually worked.
NOTE: Beginning in January 2003, data reflect revised population
