(1) Estimates for race groups (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to the total because data are not presented for all races. (2) Persons of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity may be of any race. (3) Full-time workers usually work 35 hours or more per week. Part-time workers usually work less than 35 hours per week. (4) Workers with flexible schedules were able to vary or change the times they began and stopped working. (5) The subcategories do not sum to the total because a small number of workers did not provide this information. s - Estimate is suppressed because it does not meet the American Time Use Survey publication standards. z - Estimate is approximately zero.
Note: Data refer to wage and salary workers at their main jobs. All self-employed workers (including workers with incorporated businesses and those with unincorporated businesses) are excluded. Unless otherwise specified, data refer to workers 15 years and over.
