(1) For temporary help agency workers and workers provided by contract firms, the industry classification is that of the place to which they were assigned. Some workers did not provide this information and thus industry estimates will not sum to total. (2) Wage and salary workers exclude all of the self-employed. The self-employed includes both the incorporated and unincorporated self-employed.
NOTE: Workers with traditional arrangements are those who do not fall into any of the "alternative arrangements" categories. Detail may not sum to total because there are a small number of workers who were both "on call" and "provided by contract firms." For multiple jobholders, work arrangements are based on their main job—the one at which they usually work the greatest number of hours. Full time is 35 hours or more per week, and part time is less than 35 hours. Hours vary is for people whose usual hours vary above and below the threshold for full-time work on their sole or main job. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria (values not shown where base is less than 75,000).
