Without Correction for ICM
Statistical sampling was addressed in the 1998 appropriations bill (Public Law 105-119) which was passed by the House of Representatives in 1997. According to PL 105-119, the population count produced without using statistical methods, whether for Census 2000, or simulations that prepare for it, must be publicly available for all levels of census geography. ICM is a quality check survey program designed to produce statistically valid estimates that correct for undercoverage.
Related term: Integrated Coverage Measurement (ICM)

All other people 16 years old and over are classified as "Did not work in (designated calendar year)."

Its meaning varies and, therefore, should be determined in each case by referring to the definition of the subject in which it appears.
