Footnotes: (1) Individuals may have worked at more than one location. (2) "Working at home" includes any time persons did work at home and is not restricted to persons whose usual workplace is their home. (3) Includes self-employed workers whose businesses are unincorporated. Self-employed workers whose businesses are incorporated are classified as wage and salary workers. (4) Effective with January 2011 data, occupations reflect the introduction of the 2010 Census occupational classification system into the American Time Use Survey. This classification is derived from the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). No historical data have been revised. Data for 2011 and later are not strictly comparable with earlier years. (5) These values are based on usual weekly earnings. The earnings data are limited to wage and salary workers (both incorporated and unincorporated self-employed workers are excluded).
NOTE: Includes work at main job only and at locations other than home or workplace. Excludes travel related to work. Data refer to persons 15 years and over.
