| !Interpret data with caution. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is between 30 and 50 percent. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1 Low income refers to the bottom 20 percent of all family incomes; high income refers to the top 20 percent of all family incomes; and middle income refers to the 60 percent in between. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2 Percent employed includes those who were employed but not at work during the survey week. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3 Beginning in 2010, standard errors were computed using replicate weights, which produced more precise values than the generalized variance function methodology used in prior years. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 Hours worked per week refers to the number of hours the respondent worked at all jobs during the survey week. The estimates of the percentage of high school students age 16 and over who worked less than 15 hours per week or 15 or more hours per week exclude those who were employed but not at work during the survey week. Therefore, detail may not sum to total percentage employed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
