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. 2 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. 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. 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.
