FULL- OR PART-TIME STATUS 3
1 Data refer to members of a labor union or an employee association similar to
a union.
2 Data refer to both union members and workers who report no union affiliation
but whose jobs are covered by a union or an employee association contract.
3 The distinction between full- and part-time workers is based on hours usually
worked. These data will not sum to totals because full- or part-time status on the
principal job is not identifiable for a small number of multiple jobholders.
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.
Persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race.
Data refer to the sole or principal job of full- and part-time wage and salary
workers. All self-employed workers are excluded, both those with incorporated
businesses as well as those with unincorporated businesses. Updated population
controls are introduced annually with the release of January data.

1 Data refer to members of a labor union or an employee association similar to
a union.
2 Data refer to both union members and workers who report no union affiliation
but whose jobs are covered by a union or an employee association contract.
3 Includes other industries, not shown separately.
NOTE: Effectively with January 2009 data, industries reflect the introduction of
the 2007 census industry classification system into the Current Population Survey.
This industry classification system is derived from the 2007 North American
Industry Classification System. No historical data have been revised. Data refer
to the sole or principal job of full- and part-time wage and salary workers. All
self-employed workers are excluded, both those with incorporated businesses as
well as those with unincorporated businesses. Updated population controls are
introduced annually with the release of January data.

FULL- AND PART-TIME STATUS AND SEX 1
1 The distinction between full- and part-time workers is based on
hours usually worked. These data will not sum to totals because full- or
part-time status on the principal job is not identifiable for a small number
of multiple jobholders.
NOTE: The prevailing Federal minimum wage was $6.55 per hour
from January 2009 to July 23, 2009. Beginning July 24, 2009, the
prevailing Federal minimum wage increased to $7.25 per hour. Data
are for wage and salary workers. All self-employed persons are
excluded regardless of whether their business are incorporated. The
data refer to a person´s earnings on the sole or principal job, and pertain
only to workers who are paid hourly rates. Salaried workers and other
nonhourly workers are not included. The presence of workers with
hourly earnings below the minimum wage does not necessarily indicate
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as there are exceptions to the
minimum wage provisions of the law. In addition, some survey
respondents reported hourly earnings below the minimum wage even
though they earned the minimum wage or higher. Updated population
controls are introduced annually with the release of January data.

1 Includes other industries, not shown separately.
NOTE: The prevailing Federal minimum wage was $6.55 per hour
from January 2009 to July 23, 2009. Beginning July 24, 2009, the
prevailing Federal minimum wage increased to $7.25 per hour. Data
are for wage and salary workers. All self-employed persons are
excluded regardless of whether their business are incorporated. The
data refer to a person´s earnings on the sole or principal job, and
pertain only to workers who are paid hourly rates. Salaried workers
and other nonhourly workers are not included. The presence of
workers with hourly earnings below the minimum wage does not
necessarily indicate violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as
there are exceptions to the minimum wage provisions of the law. In
addition, some survey respondents reported hourly earnings below
the minimum wage even though they earned the minimum wage or
higher. Effective with January 2009 data, industries reflect the
introduction of the 2007 Census industry classification system into
the Current Population Survey. This industry classification system is
derived from the 2007 North American Industry Classification
System. No historical data have been revised. Updated population
controls are introduced annually with the release of January data.
Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria.

1 Absences are defined as instances when persons who usually
work 35 or more hours a week worked less than 35 hours during the
reference week for one of the following reasons: own illness, injury, or
medical problems; child care problems; other family or personal
obligations; civic or military duty; and maternity or paternity leave.
Excluded are situations in which work was missed due to vacation or
personal days, holiday, labor dispute, and other reasons. For multiple
jobholders, absence data refer only to work missed at their main jobs.
The absence rate is the ratio of workers with absences to total full-time
wage and salary employment. All self-employed workers are
excluded, both those with incorporated businesses as well as those
with unincorporated businesses. The estimates of full-time wage and
salary employment shown in this table do not match those in other
tables because the estimates in this table are based on the full CPS
sample and those in the other tables are based on a quarter of the
sample only.
2 Hours absent as a percent of hours usually worked.
NOTE: Data for 2009 reflect a modification in the estimation of the
absence universe and are not strictly comparable with absence
measures for prior years. The modification was made to enable users
of the public-use microdata to reproduce the estimates of the absence
universe and rates. 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. Persons 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.

1 Absences are defined as instances when persons who usually work
35 or more hours a week worked less than 35 hours during the reference
week for one of the following reasons: own illness, injury, or medical
problems; child care problems; other family or personal obligations; civic
or military duty; and maternity or paternity leave. Excluded are situations
in which work was missed due to vacation or personal days, holiday,
labor dispute, and other reasons. For multiple jobholders, absence data
refer only to work missed at their main jobs. The absence rate is the ratio
of workers with absences to total full-time wage and salary employment.
All self-employed workers are excluded, both those with incorporated
businesses as well as those with unincorporated businesses. The
estimates of full-time wage and salary employment shown in this table do
not match those in other tables because the estimates in this table are
based on the full CPS sample and those in the other tables are based on
a quarter of the sample only.
2 Hours absent as a percent of hours usually worked.
NOTE:
Effectively with January 2009 data, industries reflect the
introduction of the 2007 Census industry classification system into the
Current Population Survey. This industry classification system is derived
from the 2007 North American Industry Classification System. No
historical data have been revised. Data for 2009 reflect a modification in
the estimation of the absence universe and are not strictly comparable
with absence measures for prior years. The modification was made to
enable users of the public-use microdata to reproduce the estimates of
the absence universe and rates. Updated population controls are
introduced annually with the release of January data.
