Excludes travel related to work. 2 Individuals may have worked at more than one location. 3 "Working at home" includes any time persons did work at home and is not restricted to persons whose usual workplace is their home. 4 Includes self-employed workers whose businesses are unincorporated. Self-employed workers whose businesses are incorporated are classified as wage and salary workers. 5 2011 estimates mark the introduction of the 2010 Census occupational classification system into the Persons with a Disability: Barriers to Employment, Types of Assistance, and Other Labor-Related Issues. This classification system is derived from the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). No historical data have been revised. Data for 2011 are not strictly comparable with earlier years. 6 These values are based on usual weekly earnings. The earnings data are limited to wage and salary workers (both incorporated and unincorporated self-employed workers are excluded). Each earnings range represents approximately 25 percent of full-time wage and salary workers who held only one job. 7 Estimate is suppressed because it does not meet the Persons with a Disability: Barriers to Employment, Types of Assistance, and Other Labor-Related Issues publication standards. NOTE: Data refer to persons 15 years and over.
