NOTE: Usual full- or part-time status refers to hours at all jobs combined; full time is 35 hours or more per week, and part time is less than 35 hours. Occupation, industry, and class of worker refer to a person's main or sole job. Data are not seasonally adjusted. Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of January data. Effective with January 2025 data, industries reflect the introduction of the 2022 Census industry classification system, derived from the 2022 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Data for 2025 are not strictly comparable with earlier years. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria (values not shown where base is less than 75,000).
