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- 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.
