Footnotes (1) Data refer to people who worked during the survey reference week regardless of telework status. Excludes employed people absent from work the entire week due to holidays, vacation, illness, or other reasons. (2) Aggregate hours teleworked or worked at home for pay as a percent of aggregate hours worked. (3) Separated includes people who are married, spouse absent. (4) Includes people with a high school diploma or equivalent. (5) Includes people with bachelor's, master's, professional, and doctoral degrees.
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. People 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. Annual estimates for 2025 are 11-month averages that exclude October. (Data for October 2025 were not collected due to the federal government shutdown.) As a result, 2025 annual estimates are not strictly comparable with annual averages for other years.
