Hispanic or Latino ethnicity
1 Employed persons are classified as full- or part-time workers based on their
usual weekly hours at all jobs regardless of the number of hours they are at work
during the reference week. Persons absent from work also are classified
according to their usual status.
2 Includes some persons at work 35 hours or more classified by their reason
for working part time.
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.
Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of January
data. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria.

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 members of a labor union or an employee association similar to
a union as well as 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. Excluded are all self-employed workers regardless of whether or not
their businesses are incorporated. 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 $5.85 per hour
from January 2008 to July 23, 2008. Beginning July 24, 2008, the
prevailing Federal minimum wage increased to $6.55 per hour. Data
are for wage and salary workers. All self-employed persons are
excluded regardless of whether or not their businesses 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.

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. Dash indicates no data or data that

1 The absence universe includes most wage and salary workers who
usually work full-time at their primary or sole job. Absences are defined
as instances when persons who usually work 35 or more hours a week
at their main job 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, slack work or business conditions, and the wait
for a new job to begin. For multiple jobholders, absence data refer only
to work missed at their main jobs. All self-employed persons are
excluded, regardless of whether or not their jobs are incorporated.
Conceptually, the absence rate is the ratio of workers with absences to
total full-time wage and salary workers who usually work 35 hours or
more on their main job.
2 Hours absent as a percent of hours usually worked, which is
derived using the number of workers in absence universe as defined in
footnote 1 above, minus those who reported that their hours varied.
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. Updated population controls are
introduced annually with the release of January data.
