   1 Data refer to workers who can adjust their schedule or location instead of taking leave or because they need to take time off from
work.
   2 Estimates for reasons may sum to more than 100 percent because some people had multiple reasons for not taking leave.
   3 Estimates for the race groups (white, black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for
all races.
   4 Persons of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity may be of any race.
   5 The categories for persons with a high school diploma only and those with less than a high school diploma are combined because there
were insufficient data to produce estimates for each category.
   6 Health status was self-reported by individuals who participated in the survey.
   7 These values are based on usual weekly earnings. Each earnings range represents approximately 50 percent of full-time wage and salary
workers (except self-employed incorporated workers) who held only one job.
   8 Estimate is suppressed because it does not meet the American Time Use Survey publication standards.
  ~0  Estimate is approximately zero.
   NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, data refer to wage and salary workers age 15 years and over. Self-employed workers whose businesses
are incorporated are classified as wage and salary workers.
