Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES The Company's 2018 and 2017 effective tax rates differ from the statutory federal tax rate due principally to state income taxes. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 24.5% and 35.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017, respectively. This reduction is primarily the result of the Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2017, which reduced the statutory Federal tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, partially offset by the loss of tax benefits available in the prior period related to the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 that expired effective December 31, 2017. The reduced effective tax rate resulting from the Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2017 increased earnings per share by 11¢. Income tax payments for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017 totaled $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015.
