Current or Most Recent Employer - Appendix 2
Current or Most Recent Employer - Appendix 2
Variable Created
- CV_MAINJOB_FLG
For each round, this program creates a variable indicating which employer roster loop contains information for the respondent's current or most recent job (often referred to as the CPS job) at the date of the interview. If the respondent holds more than one job at the same time, the main job is the job at which he or she usually works the most hours. If hours worked are the same, the main job is the one with the earliest start date.
