1 Excludes those who were employed but not at work during the survey week; therefore, detail may not sum to total percentage employed. Hours worked per week refers to the number of hours the respondent worked at all jobs during the survey week.
|
2 Includes those who were employed but not at work during the survey week.
|
NOTE: College includes both 2- and 4-year institutions. College students were classified as attending full time if they were taking at least 12 hours of classes (or at least 9 hours of graduate classes) during an average school week and as part time if they were taking fewer hours.
