   1 Includes work at main job only and at locations other than home or workplace. 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.
