Changes to the household survey "A" tables of the Employment Situation News Release on February 4, 2011
Effective with the release of January 2011 data on February 4, 2011, table A-9 of the Employment Situation news release
includes two additional data series: "Self-employed workers, unincorporated" and "Self-employed workers, incorporated."
As a result, the format of table A-9 has changed. Data on the incorporated self-employed have not previously been published on a regular basis.

Also, data series on self-employed workers were renamed in two other "A" tables.
This change was made to clarify that these data only include persons operating unincorporated businesses.
This was strictly a change in title and not in definition; the data shown were not affected.
In table A-8, two data series previously labeled "Self-employed workers" (one under Agriculture and related industries
and one under Nonagricultural industries) were renamed "Self-employed workers, unincorporated."
A similar title change was made to one data series in table A-14; the data series previously labeled
"Self-employed and unpaid family workers" was renamed "Self-employed workers, unincorporated, and unpaid family workers."
