In the 2008 and 2009 ACS 1-year Subject Table S1811, two lines under the "EARNINGS IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS" heading are labeled incorrectly. The lines in error describe the percentage of people with earnings of "$1 to $4,999 or loss" and "$5,000 to $14,999". The estimates released were produced using different earnings cut-offs. The estimates on those two lines actually show the percentages with earnings of "$1 to $9,999 or loss" and "$10,000 to $14,999", respectively.
The error affects the 2008 and 2009 ACS 1-year estimates available on American FactFinder and as comma separated value (csv) files via the Census Bureau's FTP site. There are no plans to re-release these tables.
